Resistance to external threats: Taliban’s position on national security
In a recent statement, Sediqullah Nasrat, spokesperson for the Taliban’s Ministry of Defense, assured that Afghan security forces are consistently deployed along the country’s borders, posing no threats to neighboring nations. He made these remarks in response to growing security concerns expressed by regional countries.
Nasrat emphasized that Afghanistan now operates under an independent system and that there are no groups or individuals within its borders that could jeopardize the security of other nations. He highlighted that the Taliban’s policy forbids allowing any faction to compromise the safety of neighboring countries.
He also noted the diligent duties carried out by border forces, stating they will not tolerate any form of insecurity or destructive activities.
Nasrat reassured both Afghan citizens and neighboring countries that the security situation along the borders is stable, with no cause for concern. This assurance comes amidst apprehensions raised by certain countries in the region and the Collective Security Treaty Organization regarding the activities of armed groups and security threats emanating from Afghan soil.
The Taliban has previously reiterated its commitment not to allow Afghan territory to be used against other countries, dismissing fears regarding potential security threats as unfounded. This stance reflects the Taliban’s efforts to strengthen ties with neighboring nations and maintain regional stability.
