KABUL: Acting Foreign Minister of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan Mawlavi Amir Khan Muttaqi in an interview with Radio Television of Afghanistan (RTA) said that Daesh has been completely suppressed and eliminated in Afghanistan.
Daesh militants that are engaged in fighting with the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan came from abroad, Muttaqi said.
“There is no Daesh in Afghanistan, there are no militant groups in Afghanistan. If any incident occurs here, it originated from abroad. It is good news for us that the Afghans don’t have problems among themselves,” Muttaqi said.
He said there have been no significant threats made from “our side” to anyone.
Muttaqi made the remarks in reaction to U.S. CENTCOM commander Michael Kurilla’s statement that Daesh in Afghanistan would be able to attack U.S. or western interests within six months.
Muttaqi said security is now better than in the past 20 years that the borders have been secured and that anyone who makes such remarks is ignorant or an opportunist.
“There is no threat from our side to anyone…the security has become better compared to the past 20 years. If anyone make such remarks they are ignorant or an opportunist,” he said.
