Afghanistan: Taliban leader Mullah Baradar says our ‘victory was unexpectedly swift’

Mon, 16 Aug 2021   |  Reading Time: 2 minutes

Doha [Qatar], August 16 (ANI): Taliban deputy leader Mullah Baradar on Sunday said that the terror group’s victory, which saw all of the country’s major cities fall in a week, was unexpectedly swift and had no match in the world.

In a short video message, he said the real test would begin now with meeting the expectations of the people and serving them by resolving their problems, Al Jazeera reported. Baradar’s comments come hours after Taliban terrorists entered Kabul and wrested control over the capital of Afghanistan. They faced negligible resistance as Afghan forces surrendered and several government officials including President Ashraf Ghani fled the country.

Meanwhile, according to reports, the Taliban took over the state television station in Kabul, calling on citizens to remain calm. Spokesman for the Taliban’s political office, Mohammad Naeem, speaking to Al-Jazeera, declared that the war in Afghanistan is “over”. “We are ready to have a dialogue with all Afghan figures and will guarantee them the necessary protection”, Naeem told the channel. “We do not think that foreign forces will repeat their failed experience in Afghanistan once again.”

As the Taliban claimed control over the Afghan capital, several countries evacuated diplomatic personnel from the country, and crowds of people flocked to the Kabul airport in an attempt to leave Afghanistan. Naeem stated that all embassies and foreign diplomatic missions are safe in Kabul, urging “everyone” in the city to remain “in complete confidence”.

“We assure all embassies, diplomatic missions, institutions, and residences of foreign nationals in Kabul that there is no danger to them. Everyone in Kabul must be in complete confidence, and the forces of the Islamic Emirate are tasked with maintaining security in Kabul and other cities in the country”, his tweet reads. Reports suggest that the movement will soon proclaim the re-establishment of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan.

Meanwhile, Afghanistan former President Hamid Karzai along with Abdullah Abdullah and former Mujahideen leader Gulbuddin Hekmatyar have formed a Coordination Council in order to prevent chaos and manage affairs related to a peaceful transfer of power. (ANI)

Just wait for couple of months and we will see those people who are enjoying Taliban capture of Afghanistan by force and Jihad. Let me put two things straight here which is perfectly clear by this event. 👉 USA 🇺🇸 is no more world boss, they are just monetary superpower but they are dumb from brain and rat from heart. They never won any war but they indulge into war because of money. They failed in Vietnam, they failed in Afghanistan, they failed in Middle East and they fail everywhere. They just know how to use and throw nations based on their requirement just because they have money. They don’t have that intelligent mindset to anticipate bluff and geopolitics. They depend heavily on their equipment but when it comes to applying those intelligence and mind they fail. Afghanistan is perfect example, after spending trillions of dollars over 20 years they finally fail. 👉 Those who think that this is Islamic thing which happen is not true because before Taliban, Afghanistan was still Islamic Republic. This battle was purely sharia vs systematic democratic rule. Taliban represents Sharia which is against all kind of humanity, against women rights, against freedom, and Pro Violence and rule by Gun and sword of medieval history. Now if Pakistan, Pakistani supporters or Bharat haters think that it is win for Pakistan or anything against Bharat then you will get clear picture in times to come because Now Game will start from China, Russia where Iran will also be indulged. China will now replace USA as finance backer and Russia will play bluff and question weather it will benefit Pakistan will clear in 3 months and Just wait and watch, Pakistan is already facing multiple bomb blast by TTP (Tahreek E Taliban) and in times to come it will bleed by multiple cuts and then Pak lovers will realise what’s coming. POK is in play and I bet my money on this that by 2022 Bharat will seriously contest for this territory because Now China doesn’t need POK for its Logistics as it will milk Afghanistan for its supply chain. Pakistan is no more required once China enters Afghanistan.
