ISIS cannot Emerge in Afghanistan without Foreign Assistance: Karzai

Alwaght | News & Analysis Website

Alwaght- Former Afghan President says ISIS terrorist group is unable to rise in his country unless it receives foreign backing.
In an interview with RT, Karzai noted that the rise of the ISIS in Afghanistan would threaten neighboring Russia and China.
When asked how much of a threat he thinks ISIS terrorists pose to his country, Karzai said ISIS is “quite alien” to Afghanistan.
However, Karzai believes that ISIS expansion into Afghanistan would not be possible “without a foreign hand, without a foreign backing.”
But should this happen, “it will only be to go further to Central Asia, to hurt China, to hurt Russia.”
“So, if you hear ever in the coming days, or months, or years that Daesh is on the rise in Afghanistan, and is strong and expanding militarily, it will mean that it is a foreign-backed force intending to destabilize the region, particularly Central Asia, China and Russia,” he added.
Karzai put the blame for the rapid expansion of IS on “foreign interference” in Iraq and Syria saying that it was all “the result of events” there.
Karzai once again criticized the US and its allies for interfering in Afghanistan, saying that the declared war on terror lasted over a decade “without the results that we all expected.”
“Unfortunately, the Afghans suffered heavily in this war on terror, and terrorism and extremism rather than being defeated, or reduced, or eliminated, is steadily and widely on the rise. We have more radicalism today than we ever had before. We have more extremism than we ever had before,” he said.
The ex-president also addressed Washington, urging it to “explain to the world whether they have failed in the war on terror, or if the war on terror has gone out of hand.”
The 57-year-old politician stressed that during his presidency he was unhappy with many aspects of the US’s behavior in Afghanistan, which was always a “strong point of disagreement” between Kabul and Washington.
