Amrullah Saleh called for international recognition of the resistance pocket in Panjshir
Former Afghan vice-president Amrullah Saleh said that the peace negotiations between Kabul and the Taliban became "the beginning of the end" for the country. Mr Saleh, who recently declared himself the acting President of the country, also said that the US and NATO should have kept 2,500 soldiers in Afghanistan. "But now that they did not and they are paying the price," he added, Sputnik reported citing German newspaper Der Spiegel. "The intra-Afghan dialogue was flawed from the very beginning as the Taliban never believed in a political solution to the decades-long conflict," Mr Saleh said. He further called for the international recognition of the resistance pocket in Panjshir and for providing him with moral and political support, Sputnik reported.More Related News
