KABUL: Spokesman of the Islamic Emirate Mawlavi Zabihullah Mujahid, said that the military equipment left over from foreign forces is fully at the disposal of the government and denies any allegations of it being sold, the private Tolonews reported.
Mujahid stressed that if it is necessary, the equipment will be used for ensuring the security of Afghanistan.
The spokesman of the Islamic Emirate said: “The leftover equipment is effective for Afghanistan and we need security ourselves. We need these weapons. While we ourselves have gone through many wars, there is a greater need to preserve weapons here.”
Recently the former U.S. president, Donald Trump, claimed that currently Afghanistan is one of the largest sellers of military equipment in the world. Trump, speaking at a National Rifle Association (NRA) gathering, said adding “We left behind 85 billion U.S. dollars’ worth of equipment. … Afghanistan is now one of the largest sellers of military equipment in the world.
