Afghanistan's ruling Taliban vow to stay united despite "enemy" bids to cause rifts


KABUL (Reuters) - Afghanistan's Taliban rulers will stay united despite enemies' efforts to create divisions among the movement's leaders and the people, a spokesman said, ruling out the prospect of conflict or war stemming from differences of opinion.

Some analysts and diplomats have voiced concern that divisions in the Taliban, which fought a 20-year war against foreign forces and took over Afghanistan in 2021, might spill over into instability as they seek to restore control.
