Advisor Ashraf Ghani: The Americans admitted their defeat in Afghanistan.
The adviser to the Afghan president said in an interview on Sunday evening that the Americans had admitted their defeat in Afghanistan.
The Americans acknowledged their defeat in Afghanistan, said Mohaqiq, an adviser to the Afghan president on political and security affairs.
“The withdrawal of the Americans from Afghanistan is in their interests and reflects the interests of the Democrats and the Biden administration, while the US military commanders did not agree with this hasty withdrawal,” he told Al-Mayadin.
“The Taliban have entered areas without clashes, and this is because the Afghan forces were seeking to consolidate and focus on their defensive line,” the Afghan president’s political and security adviser added.
“Currently, the people’s forces are fighting alongside the government, the army and the police, and this has led to the spread of the war,” Mohaqiq said, referring to the current civil war in Afghanistan.
“The 10-month talks in Doha, Qatar, have yielded no results, and the Taliban are not seeking peace in Afghanistan, but to occupy Afghanistan and take control of the country through war,” he said.
“We have a long way to go before the Taliban realizes that the military path will not lead to the desired results,” the Afghan president’s political and security adviser said.
“Unless the Taliban come to the conclusion that peace can be achieved through non-war, negotiations will never be successful,” Mohaqiq added.
“The Taliban sought to form a purely Taliban government and return the country to what it was 20 years ago,” he said.
The political and security adviser to the President of Afghanistan emphasized that the current military in the country is the Islamic system, but their understanding of Islam is different from the Taliban’s understanding of Islam.
“We will never give up on the Republic of Afghanistan, even though the Taliban do not believe in elections or a republic,” Mohaqiq said.
“Women’s rights, human and children’s rights, and the rights of minorities are enshrined in the constitution and will never be violated,” she said.
The Afghan official said the government was ready to resume talks if the Taliban concluded that the path it had taken was a dead end.
“The Taliban are the same as they were 20 years ago, and I believe the war will escalate and the Afghan government will face more threats,” Mohaqiq said.
“American fighters will accompany us when the Taliban violate the agreement they signed with the United States,” he said.
The Afghan president’s political and security adviser referred to a political agreement the United States had signed with the Taliban, saying it was detrimental to Afghanistan because it raised the level of the Taliban.
“The Afghan government has good relations with neighboring countries such as Iran, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and other countries, but some issues remain with Pakistan regarding terrorist groups,” Mohaqiq said.
