New Delhi:Head of the Taliban, Mawlawi Hibatullah Akhundzada, in his message on the occasion of Eid has assured all regional countries that the Taliban fighters will not allow anyone to use Afghanistan's soil to pose threat to its neighbours or other countries, media reported. Hibatullah in his message said that foreign diplomats, embassies, consulates, welfare organisations and investors are of utmost importance and the Taliban will strive to ensure their security and safety. He added that other countries do not necessarily need to worry about the recent territorial gains of the Taliban and can carry on their operations as normal.
The Taliban leadership assured the international agencies at a time when several consulates have evacuated their diplomats from Kandahar and Mazar-e-Sharif cities, the report said. The message calls on the internal stakeholders not to be subject to the Taliban's enmity in case they embrace the system. The message in this regard lays out that the rights and legitimate demands of all the internal stakeholders will be accepted and the Taliban are willing to utilise the ability and intelligence of Afghans in reconstructing the country, it said.
