Commander Ahmad Massoud

there is clear indication evidence of Taliban and Ansarullah for Tajikistan.

There's clear evidence of Taliban and the other terrorist groups, Al-Qaeda for example.

So what they do, they want to have a territory that they can operate, they can maneuver, they can recruit, they can train and they can export.

So here to control and from there to export the same ideology.

For example, according to all the evidence and the data which government of Pakistan shared, the attacks in Pakistan since the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan increased 500%.

The encouragement, such sort of in a victory of the Taliban to other terrorist groups,

It's unbelievable.

So when they see that if we keep fighting, killing, commit suicide bombing, kill innocent people, commit all these atrocities, at the end, a superpower like America will come at Doha or somewhere else, will sit with us, talk with us, accept us as the reality, accept us as the only choice, and give us $70 million a week so we don't kill the people or starve them to death.

Why wouldn't TTP continue with their ambitious plan when they see their brother next door did the same thing and achieved it?

So why United States is doing it, I don't know.

I heard today that the Congress passed a bill to stop the taxpayers' money to get to the Taliban.

Very good news.

I hope it happens and I hope it truly be implemented.

And there are some sorts of explanation that sometimes officials, they say, oh, we are not giving it to the Taliban.

We give it to the NGOs so they help people.

Since the Taliban takeover, 900 NGO has been created under the direction of the Taliban.

So on other hand, it's the same thing.

Another aspect, which is very important, in the time of Republic, with all the problem that Republic of Afghanistan had, any foreign support, especially American aid,

was conditional that we give you this much aid, but you must tell us where you're spending your own internal income.

Taliban right now are having $2.5 billion internal income, excluding the opium trade and all those incomes they're having from opiums.
