Zamir Kabulov, Russia’s special envoy for Afghanistan, has announced that Moscow will assist the Islamic Emirate in combating Daesh.
In an interview with a Russian media outlet, Kabulov referred to Daesh as a “common enemy” of both Russia and Afghanistan, stating that Moscow will provide all possible assistance to Afghanistan’s interim government through specialized structures.
He added that the efforts of the current ruling authorities in fighting the Khorasan branch of ISIS, which promotes an ultra-radical ideology of global jihad, are evident.
These remarks come as Moscow has suspended the Islamic Emirate’s designation as a banned group.
However, Russia and no other country have officially recognized the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan.
Meanwhile, IEA has repeatedly stated that Daesh has been suppressed in the country and does not control any part of Afghanistan’s territory.
