ANI Bharat's video: Afghan envoy to UN calls for establishing inclusive transitional government in Kabul

New York (US), Aug 17 (ANI): Afghanistan’s Permanent Representative to UN Ghulam M Isaczai on Monday said that situation in Kabul is "extremely worrying" and called for an immediate establishment of an inclusive and representative transitional government in the country. Speaking at a special United Nations Security Council (UNSC) special session on Afghanistan, Isaczai expressed concern over the Taliban "not honouring the promises and commitments made in their statements at Doha and other international fora". The special session was held after the Taliban entered Kabul on Sunday and taking control of the Presidential Palace. India holds the presidency of the UNSC this month. The Afghanistan envoy called for urgently establishing a humanitarian corridor for the evacuation of those at risk of Taliban contributions and attacks. “We have seen gruesome images of Taliban mass executions of military personnel and target killings of civilians in Kandahar and other big cities. We cannot allow this to happen in Kabul, which has been the last refuge for many people escaping violence and Taliban's revenge attacks," he said. Isaczai said Kabul residents are reporting that the Taliban have already started house-to-house searches in some neighbourhoods, registering names and looking for people and their target list."There are already reports of targeted killings and looting in the city and Kabul residents are living in absolute fear right now," he said. The envoy said he was speaking on behalf of millions of people in Afghanistan, whose fate hangs in the balance, and are faced with an extremely uncertain future. "I'm speaking for millions of Afghan girls and women who are about to lose their freedom to go to school, to work and to participate in the political, economic, and social life of the country," he said. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Enjoy and stay connected with us!! ☛ Like us: https://www.facebook.com/ANINEWS.IN ☛Follow us : https://twitter.com/ANI ☛ Visit us : https://www.aninews.in/ ☛ Feedback to Shrawan K Poddar : shrawankp@aniin.com
