New Delhi: Taliban on Tuesday held his first press interaction since the takeover of his sweeping Afghanistan and said they had “released” the nation from foreigners after 20 years of struggle.
Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said the group did not take revenge from anyone and that “everyone is forgiven.” Many Afghans have stated the fear that the Taliban will return the brutal government state they use when surviving responsibility, and foreign officials have said they will wait to see if the rebels promise their promises.
Mujahid also ensure that Afghan land will never be used for terrorist activities on other countries.
Overcoming the main concern for many Afghans and foreigners, Mujahid said that women’s rights would be respected under Islamic law.
When they last held power, the Taliban greatly limited women’s lives.
He said that interactions with other countries will continue and offer guarantees to the United Nations which can continue to pursue humanitarian work in this country.
The Taliban spokesman also said that private media could continue to operate in the country freely and independently.
