Afghan embassy in India announces shut down of operations

Afghan embassy shuts down its India operations Embassy in New Delhi released statement on Sept 30 on X Decision to cease operations is effective from today

The emergency consular services for Afghan citizens will remain operative till the transfer of the custodial authority of the embassy to the host country, the statement further read.

The Afghanistan Embassy in New Delhi announced Saturday night that it is ceasing its operations from October 1, citing a "lack of support from the host government", failure to meet expectations in serving Afghanistan's interests, and reduction in personnel and resources.
In a statement, the Afghanistan Embassy in New Delhi said it regrets announcing the decision to cease its operations, effective October 1, 2023.
"It is with profound sadness, regret, and disappointment that the Embassy of Afghanistan in New Delhi announces this decision to cease its operations," the statement said.
The embassy said that this decision, while deeply regrettable, was made after careful consideration, taking into account the historic ties and long-standing partnership between Afghanistan and India.
The embassy statement also listed key factors affecting its ability to continue the mission effectively and said that they were the primary reasons for the "unfortunate closure".
The embassy cited a "lack of support from the host government", alleging that it has experienced a notable absence of crucial support from the host government, which it said hindered its ability to carry out duties effectively.
The mission also cited "failure to meet expectations in serving Afghanistan's interests" as one of the reasons.
"We acknowledge our shortcomings in meeting the expectations and requirements necessary to serve the best interests of Afghanistan and its citizens due to the lack of diplomatic support in India and the absence of a legitimate functioning government in Kabul," the mission said.
It also said that due to unforeseen and unfortunate circumstances, there has been a significant reduction in both personnel and resources available to it, making it increasingly challenging to continue operations.
"The lack of timely and sufficient support from visa renewal for diplomats to other critical areas of cooperation led to an understandable frustration among our team and impeded our ability to carry out routine duties effectively," the statement said.
Given these circumstances, "it is with deep regret that we have taken the difficult decision to close all operations of the mission with the exception of emergency consular services to Afghan citizens till the transfer of the custodial authority of the mission to the host country," it said.
The embassy has been headed by Ambassador Farid Mamundzay.
Mamundzay was appointed by the previous Ashraf Ghani government and he has been operating as the Afghan envoy even after the Taliban seized power in Afghanistan in August 2021.
In April-May, the embassy was rocked by a power struggle in the wake of reports of the Taliban appointing a charge d'affaires to head the mission, replacing Mamundzay.

Power tussle, conflicts, infighting in Afghanistan embassy in Delhi before shutdown: reports

In April-May 2023, the embassy was rocked by a power struggle in the wake of reports of the Taliban appointing a charge d'affaires to head the mission, replacing Mamundzay.

The announcement of the Afghanistan embassy shutting down its operations in India from 1st October comes months after a power struggle at the Afghan embassy in Delhi.
According to a report in The Indian Express on 29th September, Ambassador Farid Mamundzay, appointed by the previous Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, was battling to stay in office in defiance of the Taliban-run Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Kabul.
Aware of the infighting at the embassy that erupted at the end of April 2023, the MEA had not taken sides.
The Indian Express, quoting sources, said it had conveyed to both sides that it was an internal matter they needed to settle themselves.
India had closed its embassy after the Taliban took over the country, and the Ashraf Ghani government collapsed in August 2021.
It now has a technical team to coordinate humanitarian assistance in Afghanistan.

"One of the non-local extremist elements attempted to violently force open the HC's car door - a matter that will require suitable police consideration. It is due to the quick reaction of one of the organizers, who physically intervened at the car door, that a bigger incident was avoided. Multiple community organizations including the organizers have formally regretted the incident and have urged the authorities to take action against the culprits," added Indian High Commission to London.

'Where the hell am I?':Trump imitates Biden 'getting lost' on stage

Donald Trump mocked Joe Biden by imitating him. He acted lost on the stage like Biden did last year at an event.

Addressing the California Republican Party convention on Friday, former US President Donald Trump mocked President Joe Biden by imitating his awkward act on a stage during an event last year.
Trump, who is leading the 2024 presidential candidate race for the Democrats, questioned Biden&rsquo;s mental and physical fitness to serve another term as president.
Recalling an incident from last year, Trump imitated Biden who seemed lost on the stage at an event. Trump pretended to be disoriented and unable to locate the stairs behind the podium.&nbsp;
&ldquo;Where the hell am I?&rdquo; Trump exclaimed.
&ldquo;I&rsquo;ve never seen this stupid stage before. I&rsquo;ve never seen it. But if I walk left there&rsquo;s a stair and if I walk right there&rsquo;s a stair,&rdquo; he added.
Trump was apparently referring to an incident from October last year, when Biden made a speech in Pittsburgh supporting Senator John Fetterman.&nbsp;

Amid the escalation of the India-Canada diplomatic row over the killing of Khalistani extremist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, Indian Ambassador to the UK, Vikram Doraiswami, was prevented from entering a Gurudwara in Scotland.
According to a Times of India report, a group of radical Sikh activists prevented the Indian High Commissioner from entering the gurdwara, claiming that Indian officials are not welcome in any gurdwara in the UK due to recent tensions and targeting of British Sikhs.
Doraiswami, who is on an official trip to Scotland, was stopped outside the Glasgow Gurudwara on Albert Drive, where he reportedly had a meeting with members of the gurudwara committee.

CCTV footage showed a suicide bomber carrying out blast in Turkey.

CCTV footage shows suicide bomber carrying out blast near Turkish Parliament

CCTV footage showed a suicide bomber carrying out blast in Turkey.

A suicide bomber detonated an explosive device in the heart of the Turkish capital, Ankara, on Sunday, while a second assailant was killed in a shootout with police, the interior minister said.
The attack occurred hours before Parliament was set to reopen after its three-month summer recess with an address by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
Two police officers were slightly injured during the attack near an entrance to the Ministry of Interior Affairs, minister Ali Yerlikaya said on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter. The attack was conducted by assailants who arrived at the scene inside a light commercial vehicle, he said.
&ldquo;Our heroic police officers, through their intuition, resisted the terrorists as soon as they got out of the vehicle,&rdquo; Yerlikaya later told reporters. &ldquo;One of them blew himself up while the other one was shot in the head before he had a chance to blow himself up.&rdquo; &ldquo;Our fight against terrorism, their collaborators, the (drug) dealers, gangs and organised crime organisations will continue with determination,&rdquo; he said.
The minister did not say who was behind the attack and there was no immediate claim of responsibility. Kurdish and far-left militant groups as well as the Islamic State group have carried out deadly attacks throughout the country in the past.
In his speech in parliament, Erdogan called the attack &ldquo;the last stand of terrorism.&rdquo; &ldquo;The scoundrels who targeted the peace and security of the citizens could not achieve their goals and they never will," he said.
The president reiterated his government's aim to create a 30-kilometer (20 mile) safe zone along its border with Syria to secure its southern border from attacks.
Turkiye has launched several incursions into northern Syria since 2016 to drive away the Islamic State group and a Kurdish militia group, known by the initials YPG, from the frontier, and controls swaths of territory in the area.
Turkiye views the YPG as an extension of the banned Kurdistan Workers' Party, or PKK, which is listed as a terror group by Turkiye, the United States and the European Union. The PKK has waged an insurgency against Turkiye since 1984. Tens of thousands of people have died in the conflict.
Last year, a bomb blast in a bustling pedestrian street in Istanbul left six people dead, including two children. More than 80 others were wounded. Turkiye blamed the attack on the PKK and the YPG.

The State-run Anadolu Agency reported that the two attackers on Sunday had seized the vehicle in the central province of Kayseri from a veterinarian. The pro-government daily Sabah reported that they shot the man in the head and threw his body into a ditch by the side of the road. They then drove the vehicle to Ankara, roughly 300 kilometers (200 miles) away.
Security camera footage on Sunday showed the vehicle stopping in front of the ministry, with a man exiting it and rushing toward the entrance of the building before blowing himself up. A second man is seen following him.
Earlier, television footage showed bomb squads working near a vehicle in the area, which is located near the Turkish Grand National Assembly and other government buildings. A rocket launcher could be seen lying near the vehicle.
Turkish authorities later imposed a temporary blackout on images from the scene.
Justice Minister Yilmaz Tunc said an investigation has been launched into the &ldquo;terror attack&rdquo;.
&ldquo;These attacks will in no way hinder Turkiye's fight against terrorism,&rdquo; he wrote on X. &ldquo;Our fight against terrorism will continue with more determination.&rdquo; Police cordoned off access to the city centre and increased security measures, warning citizens that they would be conducting controlled explosions of suspicious packages.
The two police officers were being treated in a hospital and were not in serious condition, Yerlikaya said.
Egypt, which has normalized ties with Turkiye after a decade of tensions, condemned the attack. A terse statement from the Foreign Ministry offered Egypt's solidarity with Turkiye.
The US Embassy in Ankara and other foreign missions also issued messages condemning the attack.
Erdogan in his speech did not provide any indication as to when Turkiye's parliament may ratify Sweden's membership in NATO.
Stockholm applied for NATO membership alongside Finland following Russia's invasion of Ukraine last year. While Finland has since joined, Turkiye blocked Sweden's membership in the military alliance, accusing it of not doing enough to tackle groups like PKK from operating on its soil.
In a posting on X, Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson said Stockholm &ldquo;strongly condemns today's terrorist attack in Ankara. We reaffirm our commitment to long-term cooperation with Turkiye in combatting terrorism and wish for quick and full recovery of the ones injured&rdquo;.

Sikh businessman's car shot at, vandalised by Khalistan supporters in UK

A Sikh businessman in UK has claimed that his car was shot at and vandalised by Khalistan supporters.

A Sikh restaurant owner, who earlier received threats from Khalistani elements for being vocal against them, has now claimed that his car was shot at and vandalised by the extremists in West London.
A video posted on X by Insightuk2, which describes itself as a social movement of British Hindus and Indians, claimed that some unidentified assailants allegedly opened fire at the car of Harman Singh Kapoor, adding that his family has been subjected to constant threats of violence and rape by alleged Khalistan supporters.
However, there has been no formal statement from the UK police on these claims.
Notably, the claims came to the fore on the very day elements from outside Scotland deliberately disrupted a planned interaction organised for the Indian High Commissioner, Vikram Doraiswami.
&ldquo;They were threatened and abused by these elements. In an effort to prevent any potential altercation, the HC and CG decided to leave the premises shortly upon their arrival,&rdquo; India&rsquo;s High Commission to UK said in a statement.
