“There is no security concern in Afghanistan; the country is now secure,” Fitrat stated.
On January 5, Canada’s Foreign Affairs Ministry advised its citizens to avoid all travel to Taliban-controlled Afghanistan, citing terrorism, ongoing armed conflict, kidnapping, arbitrary detention, high crime rates, and widespread human rights abuses.
Fitrat countered these claims, stating that numerous diplomats, tourists, and foreign nationals are currently in Afghanistan.
The Taliban’s assertions come as the U.S., U.K., and Australia have similarly urged their citizens to avoid Afghanistan. Despite these reassurances, reports consistently highlight the presence and activity of terrorist groups in the country.
While the Taliban insist they have restored security nationwide, international concerns over safety and human rights violations remain prevalent.okesperson Hamdullah Fitrat has claimed that the country is currently safe.
