Zabihullah Mujahid, a shadowy figure issuing statements on behalf of the militants for years, said at a news conference that the Taliban sought no revenge and ‘everyone is forgiven’.
A Taliban spokesman has pledged to honour women's rights, but within the norms of Islamic law.Zabihullah Mujahid made the comment on Tuesday at his first news conference. For years, he had been a shadowy figure issuing statements on behalf of the militants.
His assertion that the Taliban would protect women's rights comes after the Taliban's earlier rule saw women's lives and rights severely restricted.Mujahid also said the Taliban wanted private media to remain independent, but stressed journalists should not work against national values.Mujahid also stressed that Afghanistan would not allow itself to harbor anyone targeting other nations.
That was a key demand in a deal the militants struck with the Trump administration in 2020 that led to the ultimate US withdraw under current President Joe Biden.He promised the insurgents would secure Afghanistan after they took over the country following a blitz that lasted over a week.
He said the insurgents sought no revenge and everyone is forgiven. Many Afghans have expressed fear that the Taliban will return the country the brutal rule they used when last in charge, and foreign officials have said they will wait to see if the insurgents make good on their promises.
