The Taliban has asked President-elect Obama to end the war in
Afghanistan. Reacting to Obama's victory, top Taliban spokesman Qari
Muhammad Yousaf Ahmadi told reporters:"We want to tell the world and
the West to pull out their troops from Afghanistan as the (party of US
President George W Bush) has lost the race because of their flawed
polices."Another Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said it would
be "unwise" if Obama tried to solve the Afghan problem militarily. He
said it would be "wrong thinking" if Obama tried to increase US forces
in Afghanistan to "make Afghans slaves". "We are hopeful that Obama
will withdraw forces from Afghanistan. The US should try to solve its
financial crisis instead of keeping troops in Afghanistan, " he said.
Ahmadi said the new President should bring an end to fighting and begin
a new era of peace in the world. "The US President should end the
continuing era of war and begin a new era of peace," he said."We do not
have much expectations. But despite that we will see. If Obama sends
more troops to the war-ravaged country, jihad and resistance will be
continued."
