Ashraf Ghani
But this war is not within our soil; it is over our soil. Today, there are over 20 international terrorist groups with an imposed presence on Afghan soil. The future of Afghanistan matters, because we are on the frontline of the global effort to eradicate the threat of terrorism. Our brave soldiers are fighting and dying for this cause and the sovereignty of the Afghan nation every day. Though we may be on the front lines, the threat knows no boundaries for terrorist groups who are harbored in the region; an attack in Kabul, an attack in Brussels, Paris, Barcelona, London, or anywhere else are equal victories
