The radical Taliban, who have come to power in Afghanistan, call on the US to not interfere in Afghanistan’s domestic affairs and declare that they are ready for resistance in case of need. This is what Deputy Foreign Minister of the provisional government of the Taliban Sher Mohammad Abbas Stanikzai declared on Sunday, TASS reports.

“Nobody should think that the Afghans are tired of war and are incapable of defending themselves,” the deputy foreign minister stated, adding that the Afghans will be able to show resistance [to the aggressor] for another 40 years, if necessary.

According to Stanikzai, after the Taliban came to power in Kabul four months ago, Afghanistan has started making its own decisions for the first time since the past decades.
