El presidente de Afganisán, Ashraf Gani, acusó hoy a Pakistán de ser la "base" de los talibanes y pidió a ese país "acciones claras" contra los insurgentes, en el primer discurso a la nación tras los atentados de las últimas semanas en Kabul que causaron cerca de 120 muertos.
"Pakistán es la base de los talibanes", dijo Gani después de que una delegación enviada por Kabul presentara el pasado miércoles a Islamabad "evidencias" de la presencia de supuestos terroristas en su territorio.

A recent attack on the Intercontinental Hotel in Kabul and a suicide bombing on a crowded city street a week later have stoked public anger in Afghanistan and stepped up pressure on Ghani’s Western-backed government to improve security, Reuters reported.
ReplyDeleteThe attacks, which killed more than 130 people and wounded hundreds more, were claimed by the Taliban, which is fighting to drive out international troops.
Afghan and US officials say the Haqqani network, a militant group affiliated with the Taliban and believed to be based in Pakistan, was responsible.
A Pakistani foreign ministry spokesman said Pakistan and Afghanistan were both victims of terrorism and needed to work together to fight the common threat.
“Pakistan affirms solidarity with the people and government of Afghanistan in fighting the menace of terrorism,” he said in a statement. “We feel the pain of our Afghan brothers and sisters.”
Pakistan had taken strong action to counter terrorism, including operations against Haqqani network camps in mountainous Waziristan.
