The Afghan Taliban issued a statement on the 20th anniversary of the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan

According to the reporter of the Central Radio and Television Corporation, on October 7, local time, the Afghan Taliban issued a statement on the 20th anniversary of the US invasion of Afghanistan.

"20 years ago today, the United States launched a military invasion of afghanistan, our beloved country, and the 'Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan' withdrew its troops from the city in a short period of time, apparently to prevent civilian casualties and destruction of the city," the Taliban said in a statement. ”

The Taliban said the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan in the past 20 years had yielded no results, only casualties and countless economic losses, and that thousands of Afghans had been killed, maimed and left homeless as a result of the U.S. invasion. The Taliban believe that 20 years later, the United States is withdrawing its troops from Afghanistan through the agreement reached in Doha, which is a good move. The U.S. withdrawal should send a clear message to the outside world about how bad the consequences of invading Afghanistan will be.

The Taliban want the United Nations, the richest countries in the world and other organizations to reach out to the Afghan people, but not to turn aid into a tool of political pressure, but to cooperate sincerely to overcome existing problems. The Taliban stressed the need to let the Afghan people decide for themselves the future of their country. (CCTV)
