The Taliban’s spokesman, Zabihullah Mujahid, stated that the United States should finish its evacuation and withdrawal from Afghanistan by the end of August. The Biden administration selected this date as the deadline for the withdrawal of all American forces from Afghanistan.
According to a report by the Associated Press, Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid stated that his group will not accept “any extensions” to the deadline. He claims that life in the country is returning to normal, but that the pandemonium at the airport continues to be an issue. Many Afghans are desperate to exit the nation as a result of the Taliban’s control.
According to the report, Mujahid claims he is “not aware” of any meeting between the Taliban and the CIA, but he does not rule out the possibility that such a meeting took happen.
Officials from the United States intelligence community claim the director of the agency met with the Taliban’s top political commander in Kabul on Monday.
