Afghanistan once again turns into Ground for Spread of Terrorism: UN
DID Press: Afghanistan has once again become a breeding ground for terrorism, UN Under Secretary General said.
“This event is very timely, especially in light of the conclusions that were made as part of the 14th report from the group on analytical support and monitoring of sanctions regarding the Taliban,” UN Under Secretary General Vladimir Voronkov said, speaking at the conference on implementation of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization counter-terrorism convention, organized by Russian and Chinese missions Wednesday.
“The document is rather profound and informative;’ effectively, it shows that Afghanistan is once again slowly turning into one of the most important, or maybe even the most important epicenter of the spread of terrorism. Despite all promises, all loud statements, the facts prove otherwise,” Tass reported citing Voronkov.
“De facto, the government [of Afghanistan] is unable or unwilling to curb the terrorist threat,” the UN official underlined.
