Saudi diplomats leave
The Frontier Post
KABUL (TOLOnews): Saudi Arabia’s diplomats left by air and relocated to Pakistan late last week due to warnings of heightened risks of attacks in the Afghan capital Kabul, Reuters reported citing a diplomat and two other sources.
Analysts and military veterans said that the closure of the Saudi Arabian embassy over security issues is not justifiable.
“The decision of Saudi Arabia and some other countries to pull their diplomats from Kabul due to security concerns, is not justifiable,” said Asadullah Nadim, a political analyst.
“In addition to security concerns and security issues, the closure of the Saudi Arabia embassy in Kabul and withdrawal of its diplomats, has other reasons as well that include girls’ access to education and women’s access to work…”, said Aziz Maarij, a former diplomat.
The Islamic Emirate said that the security of diplomats and embassies is better than before.
“They themselves mentioned the issue of security, we don’t see any problem here because the security situation of Afghanistan, particularly in Kabul, is good. The embassies, especially, are provided with mass security. The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan is paying attention to the security situation of all government organizations, and embassies and NGOs,” said Zabiullah Mujahid, Islamic Emirate spokesman.
The Islamic Emirate has yet to be recognized by any country in the world. However, some countries such as China, Turkey, Pakistan, Iran, Qatar and others have a diplomatic presence in Kabul.

KABUL (Khaama Press): Following Saudi Arabia’s decision to evacuate its diplomats to Islamabad, Turkey, and the United Arab Emirates have decided to move out their staff and reduce diplomatic activities in Afghanistan due to security threats.
The Embassy of Turkey plans to minimize its diplomatic activities in Kabul due to various security threats, according to anonymous sources. Meanwhile, it is also reported that the UAE wants to reduce its diplomatic mission to a relatively small office before complete closure.
The governments of Turkey and the United Arab Emirates have not yet officially commented in this regard.
This is a wake-up call for Afghanistan’s de facto authorities as foreign embassies have already started closing their diplomatic missions in Kabul. The Taliban-run administration is still struggling to gain internal legitimacy and international recognition. Due to major security threats and the tough policies regarding women’s freedom to get an education, work, and appear in public places, the ruling regime has come under massive criticism from the international community, donors, and partners.
This comes as Saudi Arabia transferred its diplomats to Islamabad earlier in the week. On the contrary, the Russian mission in Kabul announced that Moscow has no intentions to close its diplomatic mission in Kabul.
Since the overthrow of the previous government in August 2021, most countries closed their embassies in Kabul. As of now, only 12 embassies are operational in Kabul, including Turkey, India, UAE, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Russia, Iran, Pakistan, Qatar, and China.
Over the past couple of months, ISIS and other militant groups have launched terror attacks on the embassy of Russia and Pakistan, as well as a Chinese-run hotel in the heart of Kabul.
On top of other issues, security remains a critical challenge for the Islamic Emirate government of Kabul. The security situation in Kabul and other major cities of Afghanistan has deteriorated with each passing day.
