London (Kubha News) – Ahmad Zia Siraj, the former head of ANDS, emphasized the difficulty in claiming friendship with Pakistan without recognizing the Durand Line during a speech at the opening of a new Afghan political movement in London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Siraj criticized decisions made in Ashraf Ghani’s government, stating they were individual, exacerbating the gap between the government and the people. He highlighted Afghanistan’s transformation into a hub for terrorist groups following the withdrawal of US and NATO forces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In his speech, Siraj revealed, “Al-Qaeda, Boko Haram, Al-Shabaab, and other regional and extra-regional groups have established themselves in Afghanistan in collaboration with the [Taliban] government, working towards goals beyond Afghanistan.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This marks the first acknowledgment by a former Afghan official of the presence of Boko Haram and Al-Shabaab in Afghanistan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Siraj also denounced the legitimacy of the Taliban government, stating that any contracts signed with this regime are not valid.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
