We will not redeem the Taliban and will say no to the international community if it trades us away, Afghan President Ashraf Ghani said on Sunday.
Speaking at a ceremony to celebrate International Youth Day, Ghani said that they worry about nothing while they have people’s consensus and when the largest section of the society stands with them.
He said it is good will and intention that they want peace, but they have not been defeated.
The president urged youths to raise voice for national values. He said that he path to peace is not linear and smooth, and success in the process depends on improving stability and taking responsibility.
The president said that Afghans do not want donation and that shared interests requires mutual respect.
He said that Afghans should join hands with convergence, and support the republic in a unified rank. Ghani said. “If needed, we won’t build roads, but our security and defense forces will not run out of food,” he said.
On the release of 400 hard-core Taliban prisoners, Ghani said that Afghans will not be responsible if they do something against the international community.
