INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Zamir Kabulov, Russia’s special envoy for Afghanistan, has announced that Moscow will assist the Islamic Emirate in combating Daesh.
In
an interview with a Russian media outlet, Kabulov referred to Daesh as a “common enemy” of both Russia and Afghanistan, stating that
Moscow will provide all possible assistance to Afghanistan’s interim government through specialized structures.
He added that the efforts
of the current ruling authorities in fighting the Khorasan branch of ISIS, which promotes an ultra-radical ideology of global jihad, are
evident.
These remarks come as Moscow has suspended the Islamic Emirate’s designation as a banned group.
However, Russia and no other
country have officially recognized the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan.
Meanwhile, IEA has repeatedly stated that Daesh has been suppressed
in the country and does not control any part of Afghanistan’s territory.
The post Russia to aid IEA in counter-Daesh efforts, says Kabulov
first appeared on TINS News.
