The United Nations (UN) envoy for Afghanistan, Deborah Lyons, on August 6 said the UN Security Council should issue a statement against attacks on Afghan provincial capitals by the Taliban as the human toll of this strategy is extremely distressing and the political message is even more deeply disturbing, reports Tolo News. “It would also recognize that they cannot risk the destruction of infrastructure that would be badly needed to rebuild the country once an agreement is reached. It should be made clear to the Taliban political commission that the exemptions to the travel ban and the high protocol with which they have been received by many of the countries were, in fact, predicated on a commitment and progress in the peace process,” Deborah Lyons said.

In response, Mujahid said that "the future government will have the rightful say about this. However, our principal stance is that we will not allow the use of our soil by anyone for destroying peace in someone else's country." He said that if the TTP consider the Afghan Taliban as their leaders, "they will have to listen to them, whether they like it or not". "The issue of the TTP is one that Pakistan will have to deal with, not Afghanistan. It is up to Pakistan, and Pakistani ulema and religious figures, not the Taliban, to decide on the legitimacy or illegitimacy of their war and to formulate a strategy in response", Taliban spokesman added.
