Afghan rebel Taliban executives responded to NHK's interview about the declaration of victory by former Vice President Joe Biden in the U.S. presidential election, and a steady peace agreement including the complete withdrawal of U.S. forces stationed there He clarified his intention to ask the US side for fulfillment.

The United States and the Taliban signed a peace agreement for the first time in February, including the complete withdrawal of US troops stationed in Afghanistan, and the withdrawal of troops is underway there.

"We are steadily implementing the peace agreement signed with the United States, regardless of the outcome of the election, and moving forward," Muhammad Yunus, a Taliban executive and reporter, told NHK. I'm looking forward to it. The agreement should be upheld and no changes will be allowed, "he said.

In Afghanistan, where U.S. military operations have continued since the 2001 simultaneous terrorist attacks, President Trump has pledged an early withdrawal, but former Vice President Joe Biden of the Democratic Party declared victory in the presidential election and transitioned to power. The focus will be on the steady implementation of the agreement between the new administration and Trump as it accelerates its move towards.

Afghanistan Peace and Security Situation

Aiming to end the military operations in Afghanistan that have continued since the terrorist attacks in 2001, the U.S. Trump administration signed the first peace agreement with the rebel Taliban in Qatar in the Middle East in February. I signed it.

The agreement includes the complete withdrawal of the U.S. military, but as a condition, the Taliban will be cut off from all groups that threaten the security of the United States, such as the international terrorist organization Al Qaeda, and Afghanistan will become a hotbed of terrorism again. I want you not to do it.

On the other hand, following the peace agreement, the Afghan government and the Taliban also started discussions for a permanent ceasefire in September, but there were disagreements over the conditions of the ceasefire, and the progress of the discussions cannot be foreseen. Hmm.

Under these circumstances, fierce battles and terrorism were repeated in various parts of Afghanistan, and according to the United Nations, about 6,000 civilians were killed or injured in battles from January to September. I will go up.

In addition, as the infection of the new coronavirus spreads, there are many cases where medical workers such as doctors are damaged by fighting and terrorism, and the United Nations is calling for the prompt suspension of fighting and the protection of civilians. ..

In Afghanistan, as the withdrawal of US troops stationed in response to a peace agreement is underway, the Taliban's offensive is intensifying, and the rise of the extremist organization IS = Islamic State has made the restoration of security a major issue.
