The Taliban group has called on the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) to refrain from negative propaganda following the extension of its mandate. Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid made this request on Tuesday, March 19, 2025.
Mujahid emphasized that UNAMA should work towards lifting political and economic sanctions against Afghanistan and securing Taliban’s position at the UN. He also called for strengthening relations between Afghanistan and the international community.
The UN Security Council has extended UNAMA’s mandate for another year, despite Taliban’s previous criticism of the mission’s effectiveness. The group now asks UNAMA to work towards ensuring Afghans’ access to their universal rights.
