Afghan Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said they wanted to maintain good relations with the United States and the rest of the world.
Zabihula Mujahid was among a group of Taliban leaders who arrived at Kabul airport after the last US troops left. “This is a victory for all of us,” said Zabihula Mujahid. He also thanked the Taliban and congratulated them on “gaining independence.”
– We are proud of your dedication. “The tenacity and patience of your leaders have made us independent,” he said. – Congratulations to you and the Afghan people. We do not want our country to ever become a target of invasion. We want peace, prosperity and a true Muslim system. “We want to have good relations with the United States and the world,” said Zabihula Mujahid.
