Tomas Niklasson, European Special Representative for Afghanistan expressed his concerns about human rights and said stability in Afghanistan requires an inclusive political system and national dialogue.
Mr. Niklasson on Tuesday wrote on Twitter that an inclusive government should be formed to avoid further political unrest and stability in the war-torn country.
Furthermore, he expressed concerns about human rights and growing threats from terrorism in Afghanistan and stated that peace and stability can be restored through the participation of all political parties and ethnic groups.
Mr. Niklasson left the country five days ago and said in a press gathering in Belgium that major challenges pose threats to the media in Afghanistan.
Meanwhile, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees in a statement said that Afghanistan is facing the worst humanitarian crisis in the world.
According to the reports of the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), the number need Afghan people has increased from six million in 2019 to 28.3 million in 2023.
The significant rise in the number of needy individuals indicates the presence of deep poverty in the war-torn country, being seriously affected by the late regime – followed by a severe economic crisis.
Moreover, the international community and Afghanistan’s partners have repeatedly called on the Afghan interim government to establish an all-inclusive government, in which every segment of the society could see them represented. However, the de facto authorities have their own priorities and objectives, which have paved the way for a deteriorating humanitarian situation in the country.
Meanwhile, the gender-based restrictions barring women and girls from attending education, work and other activities, prompted widespread condemnations from the international community and the people of Afghanistan over the past 18 months.
