Moscow: The Taliban (outlawed in Russia) controls approximately 90% of Afghanistan’s border with neighboring countries, Zabiullah Mujahid, the movement’s spokesman, told Sputnik on Thursday.

"The borders of Afghanistan with Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Iran — about 90% of the borders are under our control … The border with Turkmenistan and the border with Iran are completely under our control. The borders of Pakistan (with the exception of a few small sections) are also under our control," Mujahid said. (UNI)
