KABUL, 05 August 2021, (TON): In an interview with Russian media, former president Hamid Karzai said the Taliban will be defeated by Afghans and the people will confront them and will form an uprising against them if the group continues its violence.
Karzai said “the Afghan people are giving the Taliban an opportunity, if the Taliban continue to oppose that, this would be confronted but I want this confrontation to be political, not military.”
Karzai said in an interview “they must agree to that or they will be defeated. The Afghan people will rise against them.”
He said “this means an opportunity to coexist and to allow the country to progress. If they don’t allow that and if they continue to seek their own domination of Afghanistan the way they think of it, that will give rise to a national uprising without a doubt and I will be one of those people.”
He added that the current situation is challenging but he hopes that the country will move toward improvement.
