Mujahid: Afghanistan’s Situation Clearly Improved Post-U.S. Withdrawal<\/h2>\n

Zabihullah Mujahid, the spokesperson for the Taliban<\/a> government, stated in a discussion with India’s ‘RT’ that Afghanistan is experiencing a notably better situation five years after the withdrawal of American forces. He added that this withdrawal has contributed to the country’s independence, and it is now the Afghan people’s responsibility to rebuild Afghanistan.<\/p>\n

Taliban Emphasizes Need for Diplomatic Relations with the U.S.<\/h2>\n

Mujahid also expressed that Kabul seeks to establish normal diplomatic relations with Washington, claiming that the resumption of diplomatic activities between the two countries is essential. He stressed that for the situation to improve, U.S. policies regarding Afghanistan need to change, including the lifting of sanctions.<\/p>\n

Mujahid: No Need for Internal Policy Changes for Recognition<\/h2>\n

Regarding the Taliban’s internal policies and restrictions placed on women and girls, he stated that the group does not see the need for changes in these areas to gain recognition for its government. Mujahid emphasized the importance of respecting religious beliefs and Afghanistan’s specific laws.<\/p>\n

Taliban: Afghanistan Needs to Uphold Its Religious Beliefs<\/h2>\n
