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

The people of Afghanistan will continue to remember his lasting friendship with the people of Afghanistan as well as his unstinting support during the years of jihad against the Soviets.

People in Afghanistan want peace, including the Taliban. They're also people like we all are. They have families, they have relatives, they have children, they are suffering a tough time.

I hope (the United States) will change and they will now focus entirely on helping and building a stronger, better Afghanistan.

Afghanistan will be a brother of Pakistan. Afghanistan will never betray a brother

Life without Liberty is far worse than death.

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