[Khaama (Afghanistan)] The Talibs group in Afghanistan issued a statement on Wednesday afternoon to react on Donald Trump’s election as the new US president.
The group in its statement said "Thee US election appears to show the victory of the Republican presidential runner Donald Trump."
The Taliban statement further added "Our message to him is that the US government policies should be made in a way that do not compromise with the freedom of the other nations and do not seek its interests in the killing and conviction of the others."
The statement further added that the adoption of such a policy will lead to universal peace and will put an end to the ongoing violence.
Taliban urged the newly elected US President to withdraw its forces from Afghanistan as it claimed victory in the ongoing war in Afghanistan, claiming that the US should not further harm its prestige, economy, forces and generals in the country.
The statement by Taliban comes as the US Ambassador to Afghanistan Michael McKinley earlier said the presidential election in United States will not affect the policies of Washington in Afghanistan and the bilateral pacts available between the two countries.
"Today I was asked many times what the impacts of these elections would be on US-Afghanistan relations and my answer is always the same, America’s long term commitment to our partnership with Afghanistan was renewed this year in Warsaw and Brussels. The US Afghan relationship will remain strong and and close because it is based not anyone election, leader or party on our common interests, our people to people ties, our shared values that so deeply rooted," Ambassador McKinely said.

JEDDAH: Houthi militias have held up 34 humanitarian aid ships carrying medical and urgent assistance for more than 186 days, said Maj. Gen. Ahmed Al-Asiri, spokesman of the Arab Coalition Forces.
Houthis, who are controlling the ports, are denying entry to these ships to deliver aid, he added.
“There are currently no UN representatives in Al-Hudaida Port — which is the largest and under the control of the Houthis — to ensure the delivery of aid and medical products, and to monitor their distribution,” said Al-Asiri, adding that the aid has been held in the port for the past six months, unable to reach those in need.
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Russia is ready to do its part to fully restore ties with Washington following the election of businessman Donald Trump as the next US President, Russian President Vladimir Putin ...Second and fourth President and sixth of the Russian Federation and the first to remain sober. Putin is credited with bringing political stability and re-establishing something like the rule of law, which occasionally results in somebody dropping dead from polonium poisoning. Under Putin, a new group of business magnates controlling significant swathes of Russia's economy has emerged, all of whom have close personal ties to Putin. The old bunch, without close personal ties to Putin, are in jail or in exile or dead... said on Wednesday.
Trump stunned the world by defeating heavily favored rival Hillary Clinton ... sometimes described as For a good time at 3 a.m. call Hillary and at other times as Mrs. Bill, never as Another Jeremiah S. Black ... in Tuesday’s presidential election, ending eight years of Democratic rule and sending the United States on a new, uncertain path.
Among those uncertainties will be the Trump administration’s future relations with Russia. Ties between Washington and Moscow have become increasingly strained over the conflicts in Ukraine and Syria, and allegations of Russian cyber-attacks featured in the US election campaign.
"We heard the campaign statements of the future US presidential candidate about the restoration of relations between Russia and the United States," Putin said on Wednesday at a ceremony to receive credentials from new foreign ambassadors.
"It is not an easy path, but we are ready to do our part and do everything to return Russian and American relations to a stable path of development," he added.
"This would be good for both the Russian and American people and have a positive impact on the climate of world affairs."
Trump is widely viewed as friendly to the Kremlin and Putin has said previously his future counterpart is a talented and colorful character.
The Kremlin said earlier on Wednesday Russia hoped coordination with the United States over the war in Syria, where the two countries back opposing sides, would improve under the new US president.

I voted for Trump! During the Primaries Cruz was my choice, and I voted for him. Say what you will about the Donald, his administration and Presidency is probably going to be very interesting. Indeed.

Trump was not my choice in the primaries but as the good ones dropped out and the others revealed their true RINO selves I was glad he won. Voted for Cruz way back then cause Walker had already folded.

Dennis Miller once said he would do it. I don't know how things stand now, but I miss listening to him in the morning almost as much as I miss my morning run. He is awesome!
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... ’s prime minister has called on Donald Trump on Wednesday to extradite a US-based Moslemholy manFethullah Gulen ... a Turkish preacher living in Pennsylvania whom the current govt of Turkey considers responsible for all the ills afflicting Turkey and possibly the entire world... - blamed by Ankara for the failed coup in July - as soon as he is sworn in.
American authorities are studying the evidence against Gulen provided by Turkey before deciding on whether or not to extradite the former Erdogan ally.
US-Turkish relations have worsened since the July 15 coup and the former's refusal to bow to Turkey's demands regarding Gulen. He is accused of coordinating "terrorist" activity in Turkey from the US state of Pennsylvania through what Erdogan's government describes as the Fethullah Terror Organisation (FETO).
Gulen, who has lived in the US since 1999, claims to run a peaceful religious and educational network called the Gulen Movement.
Binali Yildirim also said Wednesday that he hoped that the new leadership in the United States would take into consideration Turkey’s "sensitivities concerning the fight against terrorism," give priority to policies that would bring peace and stability to the region and advance traditional friendship between the two countries.
Ties between the two allies have been strained over perceptions in Turkey that the United States is reluctant to arrest and extradite Gulen. Turkey’s is also frustrated by Washington’s backing to Syrian Kurdish militia that are fighting the ISIS group in Syria and which Ankara considers to be a terrorist group.
