Reacting to reports that the US was considering the establishment of military bases in Afghanistan’s neighboring countries, the Taliban in a statement on Tuesday warned neighboring countries against such a move, saying that the Taliban will "not remain silent" and "will fulfill its religious and historical responsibilities in the same way as it has performed throughout history."

The statement read: "As we have repeatedly assured others that our soil will not be used against the security of others, we are similarly urging others not to use their soil and airspace against our country. If such a step is taken, then the responsibility for all the misfortunes and difficulties lies upon those who commit such mistakes."

A number of lawmakers in Afghanistan's Wolesi Jirga—the lower house of Parliament--on Wednesday blamed the Afghan government for what they described as systematic corruption and the embezzlement of the national assets of the country.

They said that a few government officials are behind all the corruption and embezzlement cases.
