Afghanistan’s Foreign Minister, Amir Khan Muttaqi, declared on Monday that the terror group ISIS has been completely wiped out from Afghan soil, asserting that the Islamic Emirate has restored full control and security across the country after the Taliban’s takeover in 2021.
“When America and NATO had their presence, there were major ISIS centres across various provinces. Even then, we faced clashes and conflicts. But after the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan took full control of the country, a strong operation was carried out, and now, thankfully, there isn’t an inch of Afghan soil where ISIS or any other group operates,” Muttaqi said, addressing reporters in New Delhi.
Muttaqi, who was attending an interaction organised by industry body FICCI, also spoke about recent border tensions wit
