[UNOCT] Japan's Political Faux Pas

Written by KCNA

A dangerous diplomatic disaster

During a United Nations Office of Counter Terrorism (UNOCT) conference earlier today, the delegate of Japan compared the current situation in Afghanistan to the dark web.

This absurd comparison only has merit in the sense that in both these situations, there are many groups with conflicting interests.

However, this is where the similarities end.

The horrifying abuse of human rights in Afghanistan is not remotely comparable to the dark web.

This comparison victimises and exonerates the criminals who haunt the dark web, while blaming the innocent citizens who are fearing for their lives.

These malefactors actively choose to endanger both themselves and others, while the people of Afghanistan have absolutely no say in the matter.

In an act that reflects Japan’s callous attitude regarding the crisis, the “noble” country has left more than 500 Afghans stranded, including embassy staff and their family members, while they live in a state of terror and uncertainty.

It is shocking that a representative of a country that prioritizes diplomacy would use such a provocative tone in the face of a humanitarian crisis.

Unlike Japan, North Korea stands with the suffering in Afghanistan, and recognises their struggles.

Our country is making an effort to improve the lives of the suffering, as we empathise with their trials and tribulations.

Japan would benefit by emulating our approach, especially after the political disaster today.

In addition, Japan should consider taking action to ameliorate its policy of diplomacy, considering how easy it was for their delegates to make light of such a calamity.

This does not bode well for the future of Japan’s diplomatic relations.
