Taliban Official Warns of Instability Upon Weakening of Group
Taliban spokesperson Zabihullah Mujahid warned that if the Taliban weakened, Afghanistan will become unstable. He added that instability in Afghanistan will put the region and the world in danger.
Mujahid also criticised the US policies towards the Taliban and said that pressurising and using of force against the group is not the solution. He added that such policies will create confusion among Afghans.
Mujahid told Turkish media, "Afghans know that the reason for their poverty is the United States.”
He emphasised that the solution forward is for the United States to stop exerting economic pressure on the Taliban and said that such policies have not been successful.
Mujahid is on a visit to Turkey during which he announced that the reopening of girls' schools in Afghanistan is inevitable.
