Hawzah News Agency – The General Secretariat of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) condemns in the strongest terms the deplorable attack on 21 April 2022 against a mosque in Mazar-e-Sharif, Afghanistan. The grisly blast, coming just a couple of days after explosions tore through a boys’ school in western Kabul, has reportedly resulted in loss of lives and injury of dozens of innocent civilians.

The General Secretariat reaffirms the steadfast position of the OIC in its support to Afghanistan in fighting all forms of terrorism and bringing perpetrators of terrorist acts to justice and holding them to account.

Combating terrorism in Afghanistan, the General Secretariat made clear, is a key requisite for the political stabilization of the country, without which hardly any social or economic development could be achievable.

The General Secretariat further extended its condolences to the families of the victims and wished the wounded quick recover.
