Afghanistan’s Taliban-led government has congratulated the people of Syria and Islamist rebels for overthrowing President Bashar al-Assad’s regime, which marked the end of more than 24 years of his autocratic rule, as well as the 13-year-old civil war.

In a statement on Sunday, the Taliban’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said the collapse of the Syrian government resulted in the “removal of the factor of conflict and instability”.

Assad’s ouster was spearheaded by Hayat al-Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), a former Al Qaeda affiliate which is still designated as a terrorist group by the US, Turkey and the UN.
