Taliban PR Victory Tour: ‘We Will Not Be Violent,’ Will Treat Women as Sharia DemandsFrances Martel 13 Aug 2021
The Taliban’s top spokesman, Zabiullah Mujahid, insisted in an interview with the Kurdish outlet Rudaw on Thursday that the jihadist terrorist organization “will not be violent” when it eventually takes over governing Afghanistan.
Mujahid published an extensive Taliban press release on Friday morning urging Afghan residents not to flee Taliban control and vowing support for diplomats, businessmen, and even Afghan government officials who wish to defect to the terrorist group. The state appeared to directly address American concerns about the safety of personnel at the U.S. embassy in Kabul, which prompted the Pentagon to send 3,000 American troops back into the country to extract them.
President Joe Biden vowed to have all American troops out of Afghanistan by August 31, 2021.
Under predecessor Donald Trump, Washington brokered a deal with the Taliban that would have seen the American military presence in the country, which turned 20 years old this year, end on May 1, 2021. In exchange, the Taliban promised not to attack American troops and to cut ties with international jihadist organizations like al-Qaeda, whose attacks on America on September 11, 2001, prompted the Afghan War. Biden broke the deal, extending the military presence initially into September before cutting it back to August.
