Taliban leader Sheikh Haibatullah Akhundzadeh called on his fighters to provide security and the requirements of Afghan citizens during Eid al-Adha, stressing in a statement that the movement has made great progress in its negotiations in Doha with the US side.
Akhundzadeh said in the statement that the Taliban had achieved successes at home and abroad as part of promoting peace and stability in Afghanistan, and that they had also made significant progress in their negotiations with US envoy Zalmay Khalilzad.
The leader of the movement called on Washington to search for a peaceful solution to the Afghan issue, stressing that the US strategy failed in Afghanistan.
This comes in parallel with the eighth round of negotiations between the Taliban and the United States in Doha, which observers expected to result in an agreement on the withdrawal of foreign troops from Afghanistan before August 13, in return for security guarantees provided by the Taliban.
A week ago, US President Donald Trump spoke of "progress in peace talks with the Taliban" and his intention to reduce the number of US troops in Afghanistan, saying that US forces deployed for nearly two decades "can win in Afghanistan in two, three or four days, but I I am not looking to kill ten million people. "
On the security front, witnessed the Afghan capital Kabul two days ago a car bomb near a police station, killing 18 people and wounding 110 others, and then the Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack.
