After the last Wednesday deadly attack in Kabul, the World expressed its deepest sympathy to the nation and government of Afghanistan.
A number of nations have put out statements condemning the attack and offering support, and in the most visible sign of international outrage lights were turned off at the Eiffel Tower in Paris.
President Mohammad Ashraf Ghani expressed his thanks for US support to Afghanistan in a phone call with President Donald Trump. The US president called to convey his deepest condolences to the families and friends of those killed and injured in the deadly attack.
Meanwhile, the UN Secretary General António Guterres strongly condemned the terrorist attack.
In a statement he expressed his abhorrence at this act and underlined the need to reinforce the fight against terrorism and violent extremism.
“Indiscriminate attacks against civilians are grave violations of human rights and international humanitarian laws and can never be justified. Those responsible for the attack must be brought to justice,” said a statement issued by his spokesman.
Members of the Security Council stressed that those responsible for these killings should be held accountable, and urged all States, in accordance with their obligations under international laws and relevant Security Council resolutions, to cooperate actively with the Government of Afghanistan and all other relevant authorities in this regard.
Canadian Foreign Minister Chrystia Freeland, said the timing of this cowardly attack during the holy month of Ramadan was deliberate and intended to target civilians and Foreign Service workers from some of the closest allies.
