NEW DELHI – How come ISIS (Daesh) is there, this is exactly the point weare making, ISIS did not emerge during the Taliban government, ISIS did notemerge during my government when I was in a massive confrontation with theUS. ISIS emerged in the past four years and during the maximum presence ofthe US military and intelligence in Afghanistan,” said former AfghanPresident Hamid Karzai.

*Former Afghan President Hamid Karzai once again lashed out the UnitedStates, saying the U.S. “bad” policies have deteriorated security inAfghanistan.*

Speaking to delegates at an Institute Of Peace and Conflict Studies (IPCS)event in India, Karzai said the object of the U.S. behind the interventionin Afghanistan in 2001 was to defeat terrorism, but it “did not happen”.

The fundamental objective of the U.S. and western allies with them and therest of the world that shared this object and shown help with this objectwith them, was the defeat of extremism and terrorism, but it did nothappen,” Karzai said.

“In the area of security the United States and its allies, unfortunately,did not deliver what we and the world expected of them, the primary reasonwas beyond our borders, sanctuaries were created again for extremism andwar, destruction and bombs were sent to Afghanistan,” he said.

Karzai who has been among the critics of the U.S. policies in Afghanistanhealed his relationship with the U.S. government from 2002 to 2005.

“2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005 were perfect years in our cooperation, theydelivered on what they have promised, the Afghans delivered what we havepromised and the rest of the world delivered with their promise.Afghanistan practically very much became the place of cooperation betweencivilizations,” he said.

However, he stated that after 2005 his government at the time witnessed there-emerge of terrorist groups in the region that led the U.S. to bomb andraid Afghan homes.

“After 2005 begin to saw bombs coming, suicide bombers coming, andinsecurity coming, and also we learned that the U.S. was doing things thatwe found strange and it were shocking to us, that why they are barging toAfghan homes at the time, why they are taking prisons into Bagram and otherAmerican bases, why they are bombing Afghan villages,” he said.

“I was in talk with the U.S. in closed doors for years to stop its badbelievers and to recognize that extremism and terrorism are not inAfghanistan.

Referring to the recent deadly suicide bombing in the capital Kabul thatleft dozens of people killed, Karzai said that with the presence of theU.S., it was questionable that Daesh has taken responsibility for theattack.
