Commander Ahmad Massoud

Yes.

The difference is that ISIS is very young and they don't have the experience of Al-Qaeda and Taliban.

So they cannot hide their intention as well as Al-Qaeda and Taliban.

Al-Qaeda and Taliban, they learned from the first time they came that if they explain, if they expose their true nature, there will be resistance against them internally and externally.

So therefore, they have to keep it local.

They have to say that, no, we don't care about the other countries.

We are just going to impose same ideology and mentality on people of Afghanistan and Afghanistan.

We don't care about the rest of the country.

But ISIS is too young, and they are expressing their own sort of intention.

However, on ideology, they are just two sides of one coin.

Let me tell you something, Sean.

What is difference in activity?

that ISIS do, which makes them worse than Taliban?

I challenge whoever says that they are different.

What is one activity or one action or one thing ISIS do that the Taliban doesn't, which makes Taliban better than them?

I challenge whoever, just one.

Of course, you're absolutely right, because they don't have the experience of Taliban and hiding and being patient and to have a strategic planning.

But Taliban and Al-Qaeda, because it's been more than 30 years they're fighting, they possess that knowledge and they possess that skill to hide it better and to plan for long term benefits and interest.

The goal is to have the ultimate sort of control in Afghanistan, to impose themselves on people of Afghanistan to tell them, you have no choice, you have to just accept us, to create their own radical extremist dictatorship in Afghanistan, and from that, create these sub-terrorist groups and export it under different flag.

This is, there are clear indication of cooperation between Taliban and TTP.
