OIC chief expresses concern over recent surge in violence in Afghanistan
Secretary General of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation
(OIC) Dr. Yousef Al-Othaimeen, has expressed deep concern following the recent
surge in violence and indiscriminate suicide attacks in Afghanistan, which led
to a number of casualties including women and children.
Al-Othaimeen considered any act of violence as deplorable
and urged to bring an end to this senseless cycle of violence, according to the
Saudi Press Agency (SPA).
The Secretary General also urged all Afghans to exercise
maximum restraint and redouble their efforts to achieve peace and
reconciliation through an Afghan-owned, Afghan-led process in line with the
resolutions and declarations adopted at the 14th OIC Summit held in Makkah on
May 31, 2019 and the International Ulema Conference on Peace and Security in
Afghanistan held earlier in Makkah on July 11, 2018.
