Rahmatullah Nabil, former Afghan spymaster called Joe Biden's statements about cooperation with the Taliban against Al-Qaeda "a groundbreaking revelation of the hidden annexes of the Doha deal".
On Saturday, Nabil said that Biden shed light on the true nature of the Taliban as the Wagner Group of the United States in the region.
The new statements of the US President about the absence of Al-Qaeda in Afghanistan and the US-Taliban cooperation to fight this terror network have been met with wide-ranging reactions among the Afghan political spectrum.
Ali Maisam Nazary, the Head of Foreign Relations of the National Resistance Front (NRF) led by Ahmad Massoud, reacted to the US President’s statement on Al-Qaeda and said that international terrorist groups such as Al-Qaeda and ISIS maintain an active presence in Afghanistan.
On Saturday, he warned that the international community's current negligence concerning terrorism threat to global security will lead to future regrets.
However, the Taliban's foreign ministry welcomed the statement of US President Joe Biden, who said that Al-Qaeda is no longer present in Afghanistan.
The ministry said that Joe Biden's statements “arise from understanding the truth" and contradict the recent report of the United Nations Security Council regarding the presence of terror groups in Afghanistan.
On Friday, the US president during a press conference said that Al-Qaeda is no longer present in Afghanistan and added that earlier he had said “he would get help from the Taliban” to destroy the terror group.
