Dubai. October 11. INTERFAX - The radical Taliban movement (banned in Russia) considers NATO's "Afghan" policy a failure and calls on the alliance to focus on diplomacy now, the Ariana News portal reports, citing a statement by the Deputy Minister of Information and Culture of the Taliban Zabihullah Mujahid.
"NATO Secretary General (Jens Stoltenberg) may feel pain for some time and talk about the failure in Afghanistan, but NATO must understand that the time for attacks has passed and that it is necessary to follow the path of diplomacy," Mujahid said.
In addition, he added that the Taliban "will never allow Afghanistan to be used as a platform for conducting an indirect war by world powers, including China and the United States."
Mujahid also added that "the Islamic Emirate will consider giving women the right to education and work," but first this topic will be raised for consideration by Islamic theologians.
