The President of Afghanistan Dr Ashraf Ghani has said that the Taliban will face a serious and strong response if they opted for enmity.
While addressing a gathering he said that Taliban should decide in what way they want to proceed: by seeking a political solution or continuing “enmity.”
“The Taliban must choose: do you want to be in the future based on a lasting and just peace based on a political solution with dignity or do you want enmity, to which this nation will give a strong response? No one should doubt this,” he said.
President Ghani criticized the recent Taliban attacks on various parts of the country and the targeting of civilians.
Addressing the Taliban, he said: “Why are you targeting public facilities, bridges and small bridges? Why are you placing roadside mines that kill women and children?”
“Why are you burning schools and the district governor office? Isn’t the answer as clear as the sun? Do you work for others?” he mentioned.
He stated that they were the future-makers, we are shaping the future and will never surrender to the grim plots of the external forces.
