Taliban Responds to US Level 4 Travel Warning for Afghanistan, Calls It Unfair

The Taliban administration has reacted to the United States Department of State placing Afghanistan at Level 4 travel warning, describing the decision as unfair and emphasizing that no danger threatens foreign nationals present in Afghanistan.

Zabihullah Mujahid, the spokesperson for the Taliban administration, stated that daily, various individuals including tourists, diplomats, journalists, and businessmen from multiple countries travel to Afghanistan, and that Afghanistan’s relations with countries like the United States remain intact.

Mujahid added that Taliban security forces pay special attention to ensuring the safety of these individuals and that they are reviewing the reasons behind the US State Department’s concerns, but the Taliban administration believes that there is no serious threat in the country.

This response came after the United States Department of State placed Afghanistan, along with 22 other countries, at a Level 4 travel warning, urging its citizens not to travel to these countries—an action that could negatively impact foreign relations and investment in Afghanistan.
