Information and Culture Minister says Afghans ‘do not fear bombings or pressure’
Haqqani added that the Afghan people remain steadfast despite ongoing challenges.
Afghanistan’s Minister of Information and Culture, Shar Ahmad Haqqani, said on Wednesday that Afghans are not intimidated by external pressure or military attacks, arguing that the country has already prevailed against opponents with superior weapons and technology.
Speaking at a seminar on intellectual, ideological and professional capacity building for journalists, Haqqani said Afghanistan had endured years of conflict and would not be deterred by threats.
“To those who killed our children in their sleep through cruel bombings, it must be said that we do not fear bombings and hardships. We defeated those who were more equipped than you in modern technology and weapons,” he said.
Haqqani added that the Afghan people remain steadfast despite ongoing challenges.
“We are neither afraid nor defeated,” he said.
The remarks were delivered during a training seminar for journalists focused on strengthening intellectual, ideological and professional capacity within Afghanistan’s media sector.
