The Taliban movement has warned of "consequences" if the completion of the withdrawal of foreign forces from Afghanistan is postponed until after August 31.
The movement's spokesman, Suhail Shaheen, said in an interview with the British "Sky News" network: "This (date) is a red line.
US President Joe Biden has announced that they will withdraw all of their military forces on August 31, so if they extend the term, that means they are extending the occupation unnecessarily.”
"If the United States or the United Kingdom asks for more time to continue with the evacuations, the answer will be no," he added.
Otherwise, there will be consequences.”
He said that this would "create mistrust between us," adding: "If they are determined to continue the occupation, it will provoke a reaction."
This comes as British Prime Minister Boris Johnson plans to personally appeal to Biden to extend the deadline for US forces to leave Afghanistan, to allow for more evacuations.
Commenting on the scenes from Kabul airport of Afghans desperately trying to escape from the rule of the movement, Shaheen said that those who try to leave the country “want to reside in Western countries, and this is a kind of economic migration, because Afghanistan is a poor country and 70% of its population lives below the poverty line, so he wants Everyone settles in western countries to enjoy a prosperous life.
It is not about fear of (Taliban).”
