Stéphane Dujarric, the spokesperson for the United Nations Secretary-General, once again mentioned the ongoing efforts to appoint a special representative for Afghanistan.

Without providing details on the timeline, Stéphane Dujarric said that the process of selecting a special representative for Afghanistan is ongoing.

"The process is ongoing, as soon as there is a public update I hope to be able to share it with you," he said.

The Islamic Emirate reiterated its previous stance, stating that there is now security and stability in Afghanistan, and there is no need for a special representative, especially as UNAMA is already present.

"Afghanistan has now achieved security and has emerged from a state of war and crisis, therefore, there is no need for the United Nations to appoint a special representative in the presence of UNAMA," Hamdullah Fitrat, the deputy spokesperson for the Islamic Emirate, told TOLOnews.

"There is no crisis in Afghanistan, so there is no need for a special representative. Past experiences have shown that whenever a special representative has been appointed in Afghanistan, they have worked to plot and create insecurity in Afghanistan," Mohammad Bashar, a political analyst, told TOLOnews.

"If unity and cohesion of public opinion around the Afghan issue are consolidated, then it could persuade the Islamic Emirate that a special representative could be beneficial for Afghanistan," said Sayed Moqadam Amin, a political analyst.

Previously, the Security Council with Resolution 2721 requested António Guterres, the United Nations Secretary-General, to appoint a special representative for Afghanistan to implement the recommendations of Feridun Sinirlioğlu based on his independent assessment regarding the reintegration of Afghanistan into the international community.
