Tajik President Says Security Belt Must Be Built Around Afghanistan
2022-10-20
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] In his most recent remarks, Emomali Rahmon, the president of Tajikistan, once again expressed concern over the security threats Afghanistan poses to the countries in the region and stated that a security belt should be built around Afghanistan.

The capital of Tajikistan, Dushanbe, hosted a conference on "International and Regional Border Security and Management Cooperation to Counter Terrorism and Prevent the Movement of Terrorists" on Tuesday, October 18, at which the Tajik president delivered a speech.

He reiterated in this speech the growing insecurity, the re-emergence of terrorist organizations, and the enablement of terrorism in Afghanistan and argued for the need to surround Afghanistan with a security belt.

The president of Tajikistan at the sixth summit of the CICA conference held in Astana, the capital of Kazakhstan on Friday stated that "thousands of Mujahideen and jacket wallahs" are trained in Afghanistan.

Rahmon asserted that turbans from the Middle East have been transported to Afghanistan and that open dissemination of terrorist content and propaganda also occurs in Afghanistan. He emphasized that Central Asia is threatened by the presence of terrorist organizations in Afghanistan.

The president of Tajikistan is one of many voices in the international community that warns of the security threat posed by the resurgence of terrorist organizations in Afghanistan, particularly in the wake of the killing of the leader of al-Qaeda in the country’s capital.
