Afghan Taliban cautions US-led forces to leave the nation as expected:
Afghan Taliban cautions US-led forces: The Afghan Taliban have warned that. They would not allow the presence in the country of US-led foreign forces beyond their withdrawal deadline in May when the war continued. The group said it was able to protect its homeland, and rights. Its comment on Monday came after NATO’s announcement. The day before that coalition troops would stay in Afghanistan. Because the Taliban had failed to fulfil their core commitments under a historic agreement signed last year with Washington in the Qatari capital, Doha.
Unfortunately, most nations including the European Union directly or indirectly involved in the tragedies, Taliban said. Devastation, bombings, murders, and numerous other crimes that our people have suffered in the past twenty years. Some are making attempts to extend the reach in Afghanistan of foreign occupying forces and to prolong the continuing conflict. If some, however, reject the Doha Agreement and continue to look for reasons to continue the war, history has shown that the Afghan Mujahid nation can protect its ideals, its territory, its homeland, and its rights bravely.
Doha agreement signed by the Trump administration and the Taliban:
NATO officials’ remarks on Sunday followed statements by US President Joe Biden’s administration that it would revisit the Doha agreement signed by the Trump administration and the Taliban in February last year. In response to the comments of the Biden team, the Taliban has halted talks with the Afghan authorities since last September in Doha, with no proof of progress as part of the agreement.
President Ashraf Ghani’s government, which is not included in the Doha agreement negotiations and which released thousands of captured Taliban fighters last year under pressure from the Trump administration, welcomed the decision taken in Washington by the new regime to review the agreement. And the likelihood of international powers’ continued involvement.
Authorities in Kabul said the Taliban had stepped up and expanded the fighting in Afghanistan, encouraged by the expected withdrawal of outside forces. Meanwhile, in an effort to remain in power, the rebels blame the beleaguered Ghani government for obstructing peace talks. The divide has widened between the people and the state-the government does not have the support of the people.
