The acting Minister of Foreign Affairs, Amir Khan Muttaqi, in an interview with TOLOnews said that four years since the signing of the Doha Agreement, the United States has violated the deal "1,700" times.
In the special interview with TOLOnews, Amir Khan Muttaqi revealed information about previously undisclosed annexes to the agreement, which he said included practical concerns such as determining the time of the evacuation of foreign forces from their outposts and the holding back of operations by the Taliban on certain days to allow American forces to transport troops and material to Bagram, for example.
“In the appendices, it was stated that the Mujahideen should not operate in (certain places) because the Americans, for example, were hiding in their places, and they were protected by local police forces and the national army, or, for example, from Khost to Kabul, whenever there was a clash, the opposite side (US) would tell the Taliban that our soldiers will go to Kabul at seven o’clock tomorrow morning so that there will be no operations along this route until 7 at night,” he said.
According to Muttaqi, the Islamic Emirate has been committed to the agreement with the US, but the US has not been committed to these agreements, he said.
“Fourteen months, we noted America's violations and its bombing, they committed 1,700 violations. You estimate how much blood of Afghans has been spilled and how many martyrs have been killed in seventeen hundred violations,” Muttaqi said.
In the interview, the acting Minister of Foreign Affairs said that the lack of a responsible government caused these intra-Afghan talks to remain unsuccessful.
“We wanted the negotiations to conclude, the negotiations lasted for a year, but no progress was seen. The reason is that the administration of Kabul was not united, it did not have the authority, secondly, those who were sent were the representatives of several princes, and they did not have the competence and talent to advance the issue of Afghanistan on such a large scale,” Amir Khan Muttaqi said.
The official of the Islamic Emirate also said that the rejection of the caretaker government's proposal for a meaningful dialogue in connection with the Afghanistan issue with all the countries' special representatives in the second Doha meeting was one of the main reasons for their non-attendance at the recent Doha meeting.
The acting Minister of Foreign Affairs emphasized that they will participate in the next meetings if the demands of the interim government are accepted.
