The Taliban’s supreme leader Mawlawi Haibatullah has once again warned foreigners not to interfere in Afghanistan. During a rare speech at a gathering of Islamic clerics in Kabul on Friday, according to state media.
The reclusive leader told the conference that Afghanistan “cannot develop without being independent.” According to state-run Bakhtar News Agency.
“Thank God, we are now an independent country. (Foreigners) should not give us their orders, it is our system. And have our own decisions,” Akhundzada added.
In the speech, Akhundzada praised the Taliban’s takeover of Afghanistan last August. Almost two decades after they were driven from Kabul by U.S. troops, saying. “The success of the Afghan jihad is not only a source of pride for Afghans. But also for Muslims all over the world.”
