The Islamic State group Khorasan Province (ISKP) has claimed responsibility for the suicide bombing outside Kabul Airport on Thursday (26/8). The ISIS-affiliated group in Afghanistan and Pakistan since 2015 is known to be the most extreme and violent of all jihadist militias in Afghanistan. If the group cannot be controlled, it is feared that further attacks will continue.
“ISIS-K is a bloodthirsty faction that still exists in Afghanistan. They are actually not many in number and have no roots in Afghan society. They are trying to take advantage of the vacuum with acts of terror,” Deputy Ambassador of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan Qais Barakzai said in the Outspoken program in Afghanistan. detik.com, Wednesday (1/9/2021).
So far, he continued, the Taliban and ISIS-K have never gotten along. These two groups are fighting. If the new government in the future is able to create an atmosphere of peace, Qais is confident the Taliban will most likely expel them (ISIS) from Afghanistan.
Because, in every negotiation that took place in Doha, Qatar, the Taliban leaders have repeatedly reiterated their promise not to make Afghanistan a center or a haven for terrorists in the future.
“We and the Taliban have agreed that Afghanistan’s territory will not be used for any foreign entity. I believe the Taliban will drive ISIS-K out of Afghanistan. We hope that the Taliban will carry out their promises and not make Afghanistan an area or anchorage for terrorist groups,” he said. Qais Barakzai.
The diplomat who had served in India emphasized that so far the Taliban were only fighting US troops and government troops. But of course there are many civilians who are affected, become victims. In contrast to ISIS, which does not care about the number of civilians who are victims of their attacks such as by attacking the airport in Kabul a few days ago.
