Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, deputy prime minister of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA) for economic affairs, has said that the great powers of the world are seeking to prevent the economic and political progress of the IEA.Baradar made the remarks at the graduation ceremony of troops from the 201 Khalid Ibn Walid Corps training academy.The great powers of the world view the Islamic Emirate with suspicion and are still trying to prevent our economic and political progress, but we must be wise and alert,& he said.No country has yet officially recognized the IEA government, almost three years after their take over.
Sanctions imposed on Afghanistan's banking sector have meanwhile had negative effects on the country's economy.The international community has set conditions for the recognition of the Islamic Emirate, including ensuring of women's rights and forming of an inclusive government.However, the Islamic Emirate claims that women's rights are ensured according to Sharia law and that there are representatives of different ethnic groups in the cabinet.The post World powers trying to prevent IEA's economic and political progress: Baradar first appeared on Ariana News.
