Zabihullah Mujahid, spokesperson for the Taliban administration, has rejected recent claims made by the interior ministers of Pakistan and Tajikistan regarding the presence of armed groups in Afghanistan, stating that no foreign armed groups are active in the country. He emphasized that the Taliban forces have full control over all Afghan territory.<\/p>\n
In an interview with Tolo News network, Mujahid added that such allegations are not new and were raised even before the Taliban regained power. According to him, there is currently no organized threat originating from Afghan soil against other countries.<\/p>\n
These remarks come as the interior ministers of Pakistan and Tajikistan expressed concerns about the presence of “terrorist groups” in Afghanistan on the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit.<\/p>\n
Despite the Taliban administration’s insistence on ensuring nationwide security, some neighboring countries continue to express worries about Afghanistan’s security situation. The lack of transparent and independent mechanisms to investigate these claims has resulted in differing narratives about the level of armed group activity within the country, a matter that continues to cast a shadow over Afghanistan’s regional relations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
