IEA Supreme Leader reminds intelligence agency of its obligation to protect Islamic system

Akhundzada emphasized that the intelligence agency must neutralize any plots designed to undermine the Islamic government.

The Supreme Leader of the Islamic Emirate, Sheikh Hibatullah Akhundzada, has stated that Afghanistan’s General Directorate of Intelligence (GDI) is obligated to dismantle all covert and overt plans orchestrated by enemies of the Islamic system.

Speaking at a one-day seminar for intelligence officials, Akhundzada emphasized that the Islamic Emirate’s intelligence agency must neutralize any plots — whether visible or concealed — designed to undermine the Islamic government.

He described the intelligence apparatus as the backbone of the administration and stressed that no one should be allowed to insult Islamic values and religious principles, either openly or covertly.

The Supreme Leader further directed intelligence officials to work in coordination with other government departments to enforce Sharia law and promote religious awareness among the public.

He also instructed intelligence personnel to treat citizens respectfully, refrain from making arrests based on suspicion or without evidence, avoid mistreatment of detainees, and ensure the protection of confidential information.
