Iran support militant groups and is actively working to sabotage the continuing peace process in Afghanistan, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo maintained on Tuesday, cautioning that Taliban’s entanglement with Tehran will just harm peace discussions in the war-torn nation. Discussing with colleagues at the State Department, Mr. Pompeo stated Iran’s participation in Afghanistan deserved more attention. “Many men and women understand about Iran’s proxy networks from the Arab world, however, the program also has a connection with the Taliban and associated classes, like the Haqqanis, the Tora Bora, and the Mullah Dadullah group. The Taliban’s entanglement at Iran’s dirty work is only going to hurt the Afghanistan peace process,” Mr. Pompeo told reporters at a news conference here. In Afghanistan, there’s an element of the battle that warrants more attention, which is Iran’s involvement there. “Iran has refused to join both the regional and global consensus for peace and is, in actuality, now actively working to sabotage the peace process by continuing its long worldwide attempts to encourage militant groups there,” Pompeo explained. U.S. President Donald Trump has prioritised peace efforts in Afghanistan along with his special envoy Zalmay Khalilzad has pioneered direct discussions with the Taliban. Khalilzad has held several rounds of discussions with the Afghan Taliban so as to achieve a settlement that would permit the U.S. to withdraw its military and finish the 17-year old Afghan war, America’s longest. Pompeo, while talking in his inaugural New Year News Conference, also said China had to honor its obligations made to Hong Kong from the Sino-British Joint Declaration registered in the United Nations, claiming that it had been the ideal route. “The ideal route, as I’ve mentioned earlier, is to get the Chinese Communist Party to honor its obligations made to Hong Kong from the Sino-British Joint Declaration registered in the United Nations, a devotion that guarantees the land’s independent principle of liberty and law the Chinese living to the mainland sadly don’t like,” Pompeo explained. The United States will continue working together with Hong Kong and the Chinese Communist Party officials to safeguard human rights and basic freedoms in Hong Kong, and also to promote the financial hub’s high level of independence, he said. Hong Kong is a semi-autonomous land which works under the’one country, two systems’ principle – a construction which grants town’s taxpayers some amount of legal and financial independence from the mainland. The town was contested by massive, occasionally violent, protests originally ordered to oppose a now-suspended statement which would have enabled extraditions to mainland China. These protests have turned into a larger movement for democratic reforms. Under the”one country, two systems” structure, it’s more freedom compared to the mainland. It’s its own judiciary and another legal system from southern China. Pompeo also praised members of Bahrain’s Council of Representatives due to their latest announcement in which they voiced profound concern within the inhumane and debilitating states to which Uighur Muslims in China are exposed. “We are pleased with what Bahrain failed, and we all ask all nations, especially those belonging to the Organization of Islamic Cooperation along with also the Arab League, to denounce the Chinese Communist Party’s brutal treatment of Uighurs, that is an element of the celebration’s wider war on religion,” Pompeo explained. U.N.’s Geneva-based Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination a year ago stated that it had been alerted by”hundreds of reports of mass detention of ethnic Uighurs and other Muslim minorities”.
