OIC decision on Afghanistan

The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) convened an emergency meeting of 57 member Muslim countries on the Afghanistan issue. 

At that meeting, the organization pledged to help bring peace to Afghanistan. At the meeting, the organization expressed the view that no new terrorist group should be harbored in Afghanistan and that future leaders must ensure that. The group called on the "future Afghan leadership" and the international community to work together to ensure that Afghanistan is never again used as a platform or safe haven for terrorism.

 The Saudi-based group said after a special meeting in Riyadh to discuss the situation in war-torn Afghanistan that terrorist groups should not be allowed to set foot in Afghanistan. Expressing solidarity with the people of Afghanistan, the OIC has called on all parties to renounce violence. And very soon security and order must be restored throughout Afghanistan. The Saudi-based group said it would send envoys to Kabul next month to emphasize peace, stability and national unity in Afghanistan.

 The organization added that the role of the international community is essential for the socio-economic development of Afghanistan. But no one should interfere in the internal affairs of Afghanistan. While most of the OIC's calls and decisions are symbolic, the group has expressed distrust of the Taliban that seized Kabul last week.

 The OIC also said that Muslim countries are concerned about the new reality in Afghanistan. The statement called on all parties in Afghanistan to resolve their differences peacefully. Reuters, Arab News.
