Afghanistan's acting UN representative highlights hardships during Eid al-Fitr and Nowruz
KABUL (Afghan Verified) — Nasir Ahmad Fayeq, acting permanent representative of Afghanistan to the United Nations, stated that Eid al-Fitr and Nowruz this year arrive as the people of Afghanistan face difficult conditions.
In a post on his X account on Friday, Fayeq noted that this marks the fifth year that educational and training centers have remained closed to girls in Afghanistan. He added that women have been deprived of the right to work during this period.
Fayeq highlighted that more than 23 million people in the country require humanitarian assistance, with poverty, unemployment, despair about the future and insecurity on the rise.
He also pointed to families still mourning their loved ones killed or injured in recent attacks by Pakistan, which he described as inhumane and contrary to Islamic values.
Fayeq extended congratulations for Eid al-Fitr and Nowruz, expressing hope that the new year brings lasting peace, an end to the sufferings of the Afghan people and prosperity for the country.
