Leaders of the Afghan Taliban are calling for an end to the violence in Egypt, demanding the military end its “inhumane and unethical action” against government protesters in the country.
In a statement posted on its website Friday, members of the Taliban, or “Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan,” demanded Egyptian military chief Gen. Abdel Fattah al-Sisi “stop spilling the blood of innocent women, children and elderly” in its crackdown on supporters of former Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi, the nation’s first freely elected president.
Morsi and his Muslim Brotherhood government on July 3 were pushed out by al-Sisi’s forces and replaced by an interim government led by the country’s military.
Egypt “must pave the way for the return of constitutionally elected president to stop the situation from spiraling further out of control,” according to the statement.
Further, Taliban leaders are calling upon the United Nations and regional Arab powers to “take practical steps to the best of their abilities in order to avoid the arrest and bloodshed of more innocent people.”
