The Afghan government on Monday called for stronger ties and a positive role with the rest of the world, but said no one should violate the rights of Af-ghans.
The remarks were made in a statement issued by the Afghan government today, Monday.
The statement said: “Afghans are Muslim and freedom seekers, they cannot tolerate any invasion and aggression, so our brave na-tion started a great and global ji-had against the Soviet invaders which lasted for ten years. The Soviet Union was defeated and all its occupying forces were ex-pelled.”
In December 1979 Soviet Union forces invaded Afghanistan to ensure the protection of their puppet regime and its long-term strategic interest in the region.
The people of Afghanistan strongly defended their land in the aftermath of Soviet Union in-vasion and fought bravely until the red army was forced to leave Afghanistan 41 years back.
Soviet Union forces inflicted heavy material and human losses on Afghans during their 10-year of military occupation.
“The Islamic Emirate of Af-ghanistan, on behalf of its people, condemns the invasion of the former Soviet Union and com-mends the jihad and struggle of the brave Afghan people against them,” the statement said.
“Afghanistan does not interfere in the internal affairs of any other country and does not allow any-one else to violate the rights of Afghans and interfere in their af-fairs,” the source said.
“Afghans, as a peace-loving na-tion, want to establish good and strong relations with the interna-tional community within the framework of Islamic and inter-national principles, in which no one is likely to be harmed and the freedom of nations is guaran-teed,” the statement said.The caretaker government of Af-ghanistan expects all countries to play a positive role in building and maintaining good and strong relations, the statement con-cluded.
