According to Tolo News, Mr. Potzel added in a meeting with the local officials of Panjshir that in order to provide more aid in Afghanistan, it is necessary to remove some of the orders of the Islamic Emirate.

 

Marks Potzel added: "We have seen positive cases. The security situation in the country has improved. We see a reduction in corruption and drug cultivation, we praise these things. We also asked the United Nations Security Council to present a balanced picture. But withdrawing some commands can help us in helping you."

Mohammad Agha Hakim, governor of Panjshir, said: "Almost a province has been forgotten. "As much as we expected that our fellow international organizations and organizations that help in human rights and humanitarian aid and these sectors will pay more attention to Panjshir province, but unfortunately, they still did not pay more attention."

 

In a meeting with the local officials of Panjshir, Mr. Potzel added that in order to provide more aid in Afghanistan, some orders of the Islamic Emirate need to be removed.
