I don't think the Taliban will ever come back to take Afghanistan, no.

A democratically elected congressman of the United States of America should not be talking of an ethnic divide in Afghanistan, should not be interfering in Afghanistan's internal affairs.

Where liberty dies, evil grows.

I would never call a neighbor an enemy. But I would request the neighbor to be a good neighbor, to see that the neighbor's interest is a stable prosperous neighbor, a neighbor that is doing well.

Afghanistan is a country in need. Afghanistan needs to protect itself in the region; Afghanistan needs to secure itself within the country. Afghanistan needs to develop its forces, and Afghanistan needs to provide stability to the people.

As the president of Afghanistan I look at the suffering of our people as a whole.

As the country now turns a new leaf, our ambition is to give hope to each and every Afghan.
