Terrorist groups will grow again in Afghanistan if country remains isolated: Durrani
He added that if the engagement with Afghanistan cannot be done at the international level, there should be at least regional engagement.
Pakistan’s former special representative for Afghanistan, Asif Durrani, has said that if Afghanistan is kept in isolation, terrorist groups will grow again in the country.
Durrani in an interview with Ambassadors’ Lounge stated that Afghanistan has been forgotten about with the crisis in Ukraine and the killings in Palestine.
“If there is no Al-Qaeda, the ISIS-K will come. The incident may not be at the level of the 9/11 attacks, but devastation will occur, there will be threat. People in other parts of the world will feel insecure,” he said.
He added that if the engagement with Afghanistan cannot be done at the international level, there should be at least regional engagement.
Durrani also criticized the policies on women in Afghanistan, suggesting that it is an obstacle for the recognition of the Islamic Emirate.
