Fasihuddin Fitrat, the chief of staff of the Ministry of Defense, commented on the fifth meeting of political figures from the former government held in Vienna, stating that these individuals are no longer acceptable to the people of Afghanistan.
Speaking to reporters in Badakhshan, Fitrat highlighted the caretaker government’s engagement at various levels with countries around the world, emphasizing that the Islamic Emirate seeks to expand its relations with the international community.
The chief of staff of the Ministry of Defense said: “With these meetings, they aim to confuse public opinion. They are well-known individuals whom the Afghan people no longer trust. It would be better for them to stop conspiring and spreading propaganda against the Islamic Emirate.”
He further added that the caretaker government is taking a serious approach to fostering closer ties with other countries, and currently, many nations are engaged in some form of interaction with the Islamic Emirate.
Fasihuddin Fatrat stated: “Although no country has officially declared its recognition of the Islamic Emirate, the interactions taking place so far indicate that the Islamic Emirate holds its position in the world, and countries are engaging with it.”
Meanwhile, Amanuddin Mansoor, commander of the Omari Army Corps, dismissed claims of internal disagreements among Islamic Emirate members and stressed that no government will exist in Afghanistan after the ‘Taliban’.
Commander Mansoor stated: “There are no fundamental disagreements among Taliban leaders. Just as they fought under one flag during the jihad, today, the same unity remains among them. There has been no change, and there will be no post-Taliban government; such a thing does not exist.”
Additionally, the Chief of Staff of the Ministry of Defense rejected reports of ISIS presence and recruitment in northern Afghanistan, asserting that the group does not have the capability to disrupt the country’s security.
