Saleh had earlier said the Taliban was “far from stability and stability” despite “dominance on the soil” and questioned its claim of support among the country’s people.
“If the country has even a little faith in you, then why are people lining the borders of the country. In the past the composition of the dominion did not mean stability and your modern dominance over the soil does not mean your stability. Stability and stability is a coherent system with components from which your group is away,” Saleh said in his scathing remarks on Taliban insurgent forces.
Afghanistan’s former vice president said the collapse of the economy and the absence of service machines would soon “destroy people”. Addressing the Taliban, he said, “Your weapons and harsh methods will not be effective against the insurgency and anger of the people. Only time is in between, if and not until.”
