Afghan President Ashraf Ghani has said he doesn’t fear a Taliban military takeover of the country.
Speaking exclusively to the BBC’s Lyse Doucet, he said: “This is not a government that is collapsing.”
It follows Nato’s announcement that it was delaying a decision on withdrawing troops by the 1 May deadline, set out in the US-Taliban peace deal signed last year by former President Donald Trump.
Mr Ghani wouldn’t be drawn on how much longer he felt he needed the support of foreign forces.
