Former Afghan vice president Amrullah Saleh has asserted that the Taliban are being micromanaged by Pakistan notorious intelligence agency — the ISI, adding that Islamabad is in-charge of the war-ravaged country effectively as a colonial power.

In a piece in Daily Mail, Saleh, who has declared himself as caretaker president of Afghanistan and is now leading the Resistance Front against Taliban in Panjshir Valley, writes the Taliban’s spokesperson receives directions, literally every hour, from the Pakistani embassy.
