[00:15:44] The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan
[00:15:46] welcomed China's efforts to mediate between
[00:15:50] Afghanistan and Pakistan,
[00:15:51] considering
[00:15:54] the views of both sides important. Maulawi Zabiullah Mujahid, spokesman
[00:15:58] for the Islamic Emirate, says that Afghanistan has always desired
[00:16:02] good and constructive relations with neighboring countries, especially Pakistan,
[00:16:05] and welcomes any diplomatic efforts.
[00:16:42] The occupation of Afghanistan by US-led forces ended.
[00:16:46] The Islamic Emirate established its rule
[00:16:49] in the country's geography. This occurred at a time
[00:16:53] when throughout the country, there were
[00:16:56] developments
[00:16:57] that resulted
[00:19:33] in the government establishing a platform
[00:20:08] to address the issues,
[00:20:12] and following that, the second victory of the Islamic Emirate led to the end of the US
[00:20:16] military occupation.
[00:20:33] with the presence
[00:20:33] of officials.
[00:21:02] When the Islamic Emirate was victorious throughout
[00:21:06] Afghanistan, there were four or five doctoral
[00:21:09] programs. Now, thank God, the number of doctoral
[00:21:12] programs has increased from 30 to
[00:21:15] more. Master's programs have also,
[00:21:18] thank God, increased from 100 to
[00:21:21] more. And God willing, in the near
[00:21:25] future, the Supreme Council will convene,
[00:21:28] and many master's and doctoral
[00:21:31] programs will be established in government and private institutions
[00:21:35] across various fields. Thank God, the Islamic
[00:21:39] Emirate of Afghanistan has undertaken development work
[00:21:42] in all provinces. In each province, through
[00:21:46] the municipality, all revenues, not
[00:21:49] a single Afghani, are transferred elsewhere. All
[00:21:52] funds are spent for
[00:21:56] the construction and beautification
[00:21:59] of that city. For example, whatever revenue
[00:22:03] comes from Bamyan province,
[00:22:06] it is spent on the construction of Bamyan
[00:22:10] city itself. Other large development
[00:22:14] projects
[00:22:16] are funded through the national budget.
[00:22:20] The Islamic Emirate courts in five years, 1189 women
[00:22:50] fulfilling their responsibilities. In this regard, addressing
[00:22:53] women's rights, establishing their legal rights, and providing
[00:22:56] opportunities for them to obtain those rights are considered
[00:22:59] among the most important responsibilities of the judicial
[00:23:03] system. Based on the available
[00:23:06] judicial information,
[00:23:08] many cases regarding women's inheritance, alimony,
[00:23:11] documents, and other religious and legal rights
[00:23:15] have been addressed. In two cases,
[00:23:18] the rights
[00:23:25] of women's inheritance of property were
[00:23:28] established based on documents and
[00:23:32] evidence, Islamic Sharia, and prevailing
[00:23:35] laws.
[00:23:36] Additionally, in the area
[00:23:40] of registering women's
[00:23:41] inheritances,
[00:23:44] 9020
[00:23:46] cases have been
[00:23:49] recorded. The purpose of this effort
[00:23:52] is to systematically register inheritance
[00:23:55] related issues for women
[00:23:59] and take necessary legal actions to establish their rights. Significant
[00:24:02] progress has also been made
[00:24:06] in the area of women's ownership.
[00:24:09] In this regard, 1815 cases have been
[00:24:12] addressed to ensure that those
[00:24:16] who are entitled to their legitimate
[00:24:19] properties and related documents receive their
[00:24:22] rights, and to resolve any existing issues
[00:24:25] regarding the establishment of their ownership according
[00:24:29] to Islamic Sharia. Additionally, 22203
[00:24:33] cases related to the judicial processing of documents
[00:24:36] for women's inheritance and property have been recorded. In this
[00:24:40] way, a systematic judicial process has been
[00:24:43] carried out to address documents related to women's
[00:24:47] ownership and inheritance and to establish their legal rights.
[00:24:50] The issue of women's alimony and other related rights has also not
[00:24:54] been overlooked by the courts. According to available
[00:24:57] statistical information, 894 cases in this
[00:25:00] area have been addressed, ensuring that those
[00:25:04] who are entitled to legal alimony or other established
[00:25:07] rights receive their due. Inheritance, property,
[00:25:10] dowry, alimony, and other legitimate rights granted by Islamic
[00:25:14] Sharia are established rights, and no negligence
[00:25:18] in securing these rights
[00:25:26] is acceptable. Therefore, women's cases should be handled
[00:25:28] diligently according to Islamic Sharia and prevailing
[00:25:32] laws. It should be noted that over the past
[00:25:35] five years, all courts related to the Supreme
[00:25:39] Court throughout the country
[00:25:42] have addressed 1189
[00:25:47] cases. These judicial efforts
[00:26:02] have allowed women to seek and obtain their legitimate
[00:26:06] and legal rights, and their rights have been
[00:26:09] established based on
[00:30:02] mutual respect for
[00:30:04] the sovereignty of countries and
[00:30:07] their
[00:30:15] faithful and trustworthy protection.
