Amir Khan Muttaqi, acting Foreign Minister, called on the international community to eliminate the centers of ISIS and other terrorist groups in the region, during a public meeting at the ministry's headquarters.
Muttaqi, without naming any country, stated that some countries are allowing the bases of terrorist groups to operate outside of Afghanistan.
The acting Foreign Minister said: "We call on the world to eliminate the centers of ISIS and similar groups in the region, outside of Afghanistan. Why are they allowing these bases to operate? Why do they not stop those who use these groups? Why do they provide individuals and raw materials for them?"
The acting government official added that certain restrictions were put in place during the days of Muharram as special measures for the Ashura ceremonies. Muttaqi expressed satisfaction with the special measures during this year's Ashura ceremonies and emphasized that the Islamic Emirate does not differentiate between citizens.
Amir Khan Muttaqi also mentioned that some circles spread propaganda about the creation of certain restrictions in Muharram; however, some of these restrictions were considered special measures for the Ashura ceremonies.
