Any force that seeks to take control of Afghanistan will not be recognized: US State Dept

WASHINGTON (Dunya News) – State Department spokesman Ned Price said that any force that seeks to take control of Afghanistan with the barrel of a gun, through the barrel of a gun will not be recognized. Addressing a press conference, the spokesman said that forceful control of Afghanistan will not have legitimacy, will not accrue the international assistance that any such government would likely need to achieve any semblance of durability. We stand by UN Security Council Resolution 2513, and we do not support any government in Afghanistan imposed through military force, he added.
