Taliban Celebrates ‘Kabul Conquest Day’ by Asking America for MoneyFrances Martel 15 Aug 2022
The Taliban jihadist organization celebrated the one-year anniversary of its takeover of Afghanistan on Monday by declaring a national holiday, applauding itself for its alleged “achievements,” and demanding America fund its success.
Taliban terrorists seized Kabul, the national capital, on August 15, 2021, after then-President Ashraf Ghani fled the country. Taliban leaders insist to this day that they did not take power willingly but only filled a power vacuum left by Ghani, a claim undermined by the campaign of national conquest that the group engaged in for months prior to arriving in Kabul – and for 20 years following the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
The Taliban arrived in Kabul after decades of fighting American-backed troops elsewhere in the country following leftist President Joe Biden’s decision to break an agreement brokered between the group and the administration of former President Donald Trump that would have ended U.S. involvement in the country in May of 2021. Biden announced in April of that year that America would continue to invest in the Afghan War through the 20th anniversary of the September 11 attacks, a move Taliban leaders described as a violation of the Trump-era agreement that nullified the deal and allowed them to continue attempts to overthrow Ghani. Taliban leaders launched 22,000 attacks between April, when Biden announced he would violate the agreement, and July 2021.
The Afghan military ceased to exist following the arrival of the Taliban in Kabul; the Sunni terrorists took power in the capital city without a battle.
Top Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid shared a statement by the group’s prime minister and one of its founders, Mohammad Hassan Akhund, on Monday celebrating “Kabul Conquest Day.”
