KABUL: The Secretary-General of the Organization of Islamic
Cooperation (OIC), Yousef Al-Othaimeen has expressed his deepest concern over
the recent surge in violence and indiscriminate suicide attacks in Afghanistan,
causing a number of casualties, including women and children.

bring an end to this senseless cycle of violence,' he was quoted as saying in a
statement OIC sent to Afghanistan Times.
The Secretary-General urged all Afghans to exercise maximum
restraint and redouble their efforts to achieve peace and reconciliation through
an Afghan-owned and Afghan-led process in line with the resolutions and
declarations adopted at the 14th OIC Summit held in Makkah on 31 May 2019 and

International Ulema Conference on Peace and Security in
Afghanistan held earlier in Makkah on 11 July 2018.
Al-Othaimeen expressed his deep sympathy and condolences to
the government and people of Afghanistan, the statement said.

city, and provinces across the country have passed worst month ever as several deadly
terrorist attacks carried out. Taliban group claimed most of them, which killed
and wounded hundreds of innocent Afghans, including women and children.
Moreover, both the Afghan government and the Taliban group accuse
each other of disobeying the Doha intra-Afghan summit's resolution in terms of
prevention of the civilian causalities.

including the religious centers, hospitals, civilian education centers,
bazaars, water dikes, and workplaces across the country, and reducing the
civilian casualties were the main articles of the resolution of Doha
conference.
