Don’t blame us for your own problems, IEA tells Pakistan

KABUL (Pajhwok): Afghanistan itself has been a victim of decades of war, having bitter memories of conflict and does not support hostilities in any country, says the interim government.

Reacting to Pakistan Army Chief Gen. Asim Munir’s statement, the interim government’s chief spokesman said: “Other countries, including Pakistan, should not blame Afghanistan for their domestic issues or internal insecurity.”

Speaking exclusively to Pajhwok Afghan News, Zabihullah Mujahid opined all countries should try to resolve their domestic problems internally.”

“The Islamic Emirate has repeatedly promised it will not allow the use of Afghanistan’s soil against anyone. We stand firm and will not allow any action against any country, including Pakistan, from Afghanistan,” he commented.

Mujahid stressed: “But we should also be aware that Afghanistan should not be chided for others’ weaknesses, preventing internal incidents or diverting attention from certain problems there. There are vast areas near the Durand Line in Pakistan, which could be possible used for such things.”

The IEA was against the insecurity of anyone and always supported stability in the region as a priority of the caretaker government, Mujahid maintained.
