KABUL (Pajhwok): The ‘Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan’ (IEA) has said that US President Joe Biden comment on the non-existence of armed groups in Afghanistan refuted the UN Sanctions Monitoring Team allegation regarding the presence of over 20 armed groups in Afghanistan.
Abdul Qahar Balkhi, spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, on his Twitter handle wrote: “We consider remarks by US President Joe Biden about non-existence of armed groups in Afghanistan as acknowledgment of reality & state that it refutes the recent report by UN Sanctions Monitoring Team alleging the presence & operation of over twenty armed groups in Afghanistan.”
He said: “The Islamic Emirate maintains the policy of not allowing anyone to use the soil of Afghanistan to harm others. Our actions in this regard are not due to the requests or support of anyone, including America.”
This comes that earlier US President Biden while answering a reporter’s question said: “Al-Qaeda would not be there” and “I said we’d get help from the Taliban, I was right.”
