Afghanistan President Ashraf Ghani says Taliban has 'deep ties' with Al-Qaeda, other groups

Kabul: Afghanistan President Ashraf Ghani has claimed that Taliban has “deep ties" with Al-Qaeda, Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed and the group wants Afghanistan “to become a haven for insurgents.”

Ghani made the remark as he visited the Special Operations Command Center in Kabul on Wednesday.

“The government will never allow this to happen,” President Ghani was quoted as saying by Tolo News while visiting the center to give a greeting for Eid, the Presidential Palace said in a statement. Ghani pledged to provide "any kind of support," for Afghan special operations forces.

He promised to address the needs of families of the security force members who have lost their lives while serving their country.

"Our goal is to protect Afghanistan, freedom, equality and the achievements of the last 20 years, but the intention of the enemy is dark," Ghani said, adding "and you prove to the enemy they will take their dreams to the grave."

He also said: “We have the will to establish a just and lasting peace” in the country, “but the enemies must know that we will never surrender. You have the capability to show to the world and any other force and prove your capacity.”

“Afghanistan is the common home for all Afghans, and it is our national duty to protect it until the last moment of our lives,” he was quoted as saying by Tolo News.
