Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

We condemn the cowardly and barbaric terrorist attack of August 26, 2021 at Kabul airport, in which numerous people were killed and injured. According to media reports, 12 US soldiers and more than 60 Afghan civilians were among the dead. More than 150 were injured, including several US soldiers and approximately 143 Afghans.

We wish the injured Afghans and US soldiers a speedy recovery and extend our condolences to the American and Afghan families of the victims.

We ask the world. It is very important to act. There are countries like Pakistan or other countries where the state supports terrorism or the terrorists come from these countries themselves, regardless of whether the Taliban, IS or other terrorists. Such states do not have their own countries under control. Therefore, sanctions wanted to be imposed on these countries. A lot can be achieved in this way to combat terrorism.

Best regards

Hayattullah Maiwand
