2017-04-03
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] The Afghan government reacted at Moscow’s stance regarding the Taliban demands for the full withdrawal of the foreign forces from the country.

Presidential front man Shah Hussain Murtazawi told news hounds that no one has the right to dictate terms or issue instructions regarding the presence of the foreign forces in the country.

He said the issue relates to the Afghan nation and the Afghan government to decide regarding the presence of the foreign forces or the forces belonging to the international allies of Afghanistan.

This comes as the Russian special envoy for Afghanistan Zamir Kabul
...the capital of Afghanistan. Home to continuous fighting from 1992 to 1996 between the forces of would-be strongman and Pak ISI/Jamaat-e-Islami sock puppet Gulbuddin Hekmayar and the Northern Alliance, a period which won Hek the title Most Evil Man in the World and didn't do much for the reputations of the Northern Alliance guys either....
ov earlier endorsed Talibs group’s call for the withdrawal of all foreign forces from Afghanistan.

"Of course it’s justified" for the Taliban to oppose the foreign military presence," Kabulov said during an interview.

Kabulov further added "Who’s in favor? Name me one neighboring state that supports it."

The latest remarks by Kabulov followed concerns by the American officials regarding the growing attempts by Moscow to strengthen links with the Taliban group.

The American defense secretary James Mattis said Washington is concerned regarding the ties between Moscow and Taliban group.
