Taliban warn of threat to Afghanistan’s independence
-On eve of 2nd anniversary of returning to power, Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid Day said that all efforts by invaders had failed.
KABUL, Afghanistan – The Taliban government on Tuesday reaffirmed Islamic Sharia law as the “framework” for its rule and said it would not allow anyone to threaten Afghanistan’s “independence and freedom.”
Marking the second anniversary of its return to power in Afghanistan, Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said Tuesday that the day showed that all efforts by the invaders had failed.
The Taliban’s return was preceded by years of peace negotiations with the U.S. that concluded with the Doha Accord on Feb. 29 of that year.
He claimed that the Taliban government had provided security in the country.
Unlike in the past, he said, the entire country was administered by a single unified leadership under an Islamic system.
Mujahid said no invader should threaten Afghanistan’s independence and freedom.
He said that the invaders cannot defeat the will of the Afghan Mujahideen people nor impose their arbitrary regime through violence and conspiracies.
He said the Taliban government is determined to serve its people within the framework of Islamic Sharia law as long as they are alive and will work for the development and stability of the country.
Under the Doha agreement, all foreign troops are to leave the war-torn country by the end of August 2021.
Mujahid said the entire Islamic Ummah – the Muslim community – is “proud of the Taliban’s victory against the occupation.”
