The Afghan Taliban, in response to a declaration by US President Donald Trump to suspend talks, said the United States would suffer the most damage.
According to AFP, Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said in a statement from his Twitter account that the Taliban's doors would be open for talks.
"We still believe that the Americans will return to this position again," he said. Zabihullah Mujahid said the Taliban's 18-year war should be enough to make it clear to the United States that we would not be satisfied without ending the occupation.
It should be noted that US President Donald Trump on Sunday announced the suspension of peace talks with the Afghan Taliban. His announcement was made on Twitter.
Pompevika, speaking at ABC TV's program 'Ten Week', said he hoped that the Taliban would change their attitude and stick to what we discussed. He said the issue had to be resolved through several periods of negotiation.
Ashraf Ghani's reaction.
Earlier in a statement issued by Afghan President Ashraf Ghani's office, the US president's move was praised. According to the news agency AFP, the statement said, "The Afghan government appreciates the sincere efforts of its allies on peace and is working to establish peace with the United States and other friendly countries."
According to Reuters news agency, Afghanistan's presidential office said Sunday that "peace in the true sense is possible only if the Taliban stop terrorism and talk directly with the government."
Ashraf Ghani administration officials have said that "real peace will come when the Taliban are ready for a ceasefire."
Trump tweeted that peace talks have been suspended following the death of 12 people, including an American soldier in Kabul, and the Taliban have claimed responsibility for a false attack on Kabul.He also said that a secret meeting with his Taliban leaders in Camp David was immediately canceled.According to Trump, "separate meetings with Afghan President and Taliban leaders were to be held at Camp David on Sunday. In this connection, he was reaching the United States tonight.
The US president added, "How are these people who kill people to strengthen their bargaining position in the negotiations, but they have not only strengthened their position but made it worse."According to Trump, "If the Taliban cannot hold a ceasefire during important talks, it means they do not even have the capacity to make a meaningful deal." How many more decades they (the Taliban) want to fight. "
It should be noted that a lot of hope was being drawn from the peace talks between the United States and the Taliban that began last year. In the wake of the ninth round of talks in Doha, the Taliban and the United States were claiming that the two sides had reached the peace agreement.
After the ninth round of peace talks in Doha ended, US Special Envoy for Afghanistan Peace Zalmay Khalilzad spoke to Afghan TV channel Tolo News, pointing out that the United States had reached a peace agreement with the Taliban for the first 135 days. Within five thousand US troops will be driven out of Afghanistan.
However, he said that the endorsement by US President Donald Trump in this regard is yet to come.
On the other hand, during a recent round of negotiations, Taliban spokesman Sohail Shaheen in a special conversation with Urdu News in Doha said that if the United States showed a little more flexibility on the withdrawal of its military presence in Afghanistan, peace with it The agreement can be reached.
He also said that as soon as US forces withdraw from Afghanistan, the Taliban would be ready to sign the agreement.
Statements cited by both sides to reach a peace agreement, but Taliban attacks on various Afghan cities have increased over the past week.
In the same incident, on September 6, an attack took place near the US Embassy in Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan, killing 12 people and injuring dozens. The Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack.
This is the same attack that President Trump has mentioned while suspending peace talks.
