Gulbuddin Hekmatyar

Afghanistan International: Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, the leader of Hezb-e-Islami, has stated that with the Taliban assuming power in Afghanistan, the foundation for an “independent and robust government” in the country has been established. However, Afghanistan’s airspace remains under United States’ occupation. Hekmatyar has demanded from the Taliban that if the United States does not cease this action, “its embassy should be closed, and all Americans should be expelled from the country”. The leader of Hezb-e-Islami had previously alleged that the US is present in Afghanistan and supports the Taliban. However, the Taliban has denied this allegation.
