'Root of Afghan Challenges; Outside Afghan Borders'
The former Afghan Spy Chief said that the root of challenges facing Afghans are outside Afghan bordersThe Afghan Challenge is not a domestic issue, if it was so then what the International forces are doing here, the former Afghan Spy Chief, Amrullah Saleh, underscored in an exclusive interview with Quqnoos. The former Afghan Spy Chief highlighted that once again Afghanistan should not go back to the old days, and the Afghan challenges need to be looked at from an international dimension. "Calling the issue of Afghanistan domestic would be misbehavior for the whole Afghan nation. If the issue is internal, then what the foreign forces, whose number reaches 150,000, do inside Afghanistan," he said. While holding peace talks with the insurgents is one of the top priorities of the Afghan government, but Amrullah Saleh said it is necessary to consider Afghan people's desires. "I don't back the way the Afghan government reaches for peace with the insurgents that are vividly supported by the Pakistani government, after trampling 98 percent of our own people desires," he said. Following the attacks by the insurgents on the Afghan peace jirga and its disruption, the Afghan Spy Chief and the Afghan Interior Minister stepped down, but the former Afghan Spy chief said he is in an effort to shed light on Afghanistan's situation for the Afghan people.
