Balkh Governor Criticizes US Military Operations, Calls for Regional Solidarity

Yusuf Wafa, the Governor of Balkh and a special representative of the Taliban leader for the northern region, sharply criticized recent military operations by the United States during a security meeting in Mazar-i-Sharif. He condemned these regional actions, describing them as a continuation of Washington’s repeated failures to uphold its commitments.

Details of the Meeting

Wafa recalled the two decades of conflict in Afghanistan and emphasized that the U.S. presence has yielded nothing but destruction and instability. He stated that the current administration, drawing from past experiences, stands fully prepared to confront any trans-regional threats and to support neighboring countries if necessary.

Political analysts interpret these candid stances as indicative of a deepening anti-American sentiment in Kabul, suggesting a need for regional cohesion against foreign interventions.
