Islamabad, Oct 27, IRNA -- As the United States admitted Taliban as
tougher, the former ISI Chief, General Hamid Gul says the Taliban have
won the first round.
In an interview here he said that the United States has no
political solution for the next round as well. They have no visible
military targets, he added.
When asked about the demand of an Afghan conference in Peshawar
for the formation of a broad-based government in Afghanistan, the
former general said that the supporters of former king Zahir Shah
always considered that it is the only solution of Afghanistan
problems.
He said that United States also pushes the same.
He recalled that in the beginning the United States had been
supporting the Taliban movement with the impression that after the
failure of the Taliban, Zahir Shah would be brought back to run the
affairs.
"But that proved wrong because Afghans are independent people," he
added.
Referring to the current situation, Hamid Gul said termed the U.S.
as the flag bearer of imperialism.
"It is important to note that a visible change has occurred in the
Afghans society but they are (U.S.) attempting to reverse the
historical facts which is impossible now," he added.
He said for the time being the Taliban enjoy grip on the affairs.
He said the situation would remain so in the winter also. What the
U.S. will do after that, it is still not clear. |
