(ANSA) - KABUL, JUL 23 - "It's an absolute lie". This lax replica of the defense minister of Kabul Fawad Aman aitalebani who claim to have control of 90% of the borders of Afghanistan. It is the government forces that control the country's borders, the minister insisted, thus refuting the statements made yesterday by the representative of the rebels to the Russian press agencies. "It is unfounded propaganda", declared the spokesman of the same minister.
The Taliban in recent weeks have accelerated military operations to regain ground in the country after the withdrawal of US-led foreign troops. (HANDLE).
