Afghan President Muhammad Ashraf Ghani announced that Washington will send a team to his country to discuss the peace process, after the Taliban accused the United States of violating the agreement signed in February last year in Doha by "bombing civilians", and after Washington criticized the movement for "not respecting its stipulated obligations." In agreement. "

Ghani said that the administration of the new president, Joe Biden, would send a team to his country to discuss the peace process, indicating that he would discuss with it the promotion of peace opportunities in Afghanistan.

This came after Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said in a tweet on Twitter that the movement is committed to all the terms of the Doha Agreement, and that it believes that implementing this agreement is the only solution to the current problem, calling on the US administration to abide by the agreement.

For his part, a member of the Taliban's political bureau, Sher Abbas Stanikzai, confirmed that the movement would be forced to fight if the United States violated the agreement concluded with it and did not withdraw its forces from Afghanistan.

Stanikzai added that the desire of the US President Joe Biden's administration to review the peace agreement does not mean that Washington will withdraw from it.

He stressed that the movement calls for the support of other countries, including Russia, Iran and Pakistan, with the aim of influencing the Biden administration and pushing it to implement the concluded agreement, as part of its commitment to the political process in Afghanistan.

Stanikzai concluded his speech by saying that the movement's delegation discussed Thursday with the Russian president's special envoy on Afghanistan, Dame Kabulov, removing the names of Taliban members from the sanctions lists of the UN Security Council, noting that the Russian diplomat expressed his support for this step.

Air strikes


Earlier, the US military launched several air strikes against the Taliban in recent months, in support of Afghan government forces.

These attacks come after US Defense Department spokesman John Kirby accused the Taliban on Thursday of not fulfilling their obligations stipulated in the agreement.

"As long as they do not fulfill their commitment to renounce terrorism and end violent attacks against the Afghan army ... it will be difficult for any party at the negotiating table" to fulfill their promises, Kirby said.

Meanwhile, the Biden administration issued a clear position for the first time on the Taliban, after announcing that it intended to "assess" the Taliban’s respect for their obligations.

It is noteworthy that on September 12, historic peace negotiations were launched in Doha, mediated by Qatar, between the Afghan government and the Taliban, with the support of the United States, to end the long years of armed conflicts in Afghanistan.

Qatar led the mediation and hosted the Washington and Taliban negotiations in Doha, which resulted in the signing of a historic agreement, on February 29, for a gradual US withdrawal from Afghanistan and a prisoner exchange.
