’s troops pullout policy on Wednesday, issued a statement on Thursday saying that the US by skipping the May 1 troop deadline has violated the Doha peace agreement.

US President Joe Biden on Wednesday announced the full withdrawal of United States troops from Afghanistan, which have been in the country for nearly 20 years. The announcement raised fears that the war-ravaged country will be plunged into a new civil war.

"This decision is a clear violation of the Doha Agreement and non-compliance with its commitments," the Taliban said in a statement on Thursday.

The Taliban statement also said: "As this agreement was signed in the presence of United Nations
...an organization conceived in the belief that we're just one big happy world, with the sort of results you'd expect from such nonsense...
and representatives of numerous world countries and organizations, and is currently being breached by America, it is imperative that all countries and organizations that were witnesses to the signing of this agreement exert pressure on America to implement its commitments and withdraw all forces from Afghanistan by the specified date."

"Now as the agreement is being breached by America, it in principle opens the way for the Mujahideen of Islamic Emirate to take every necessary countermeasure, hence the American side will be held responsible for all future consequences, and not the Islamic Emirate," the Taliban said.
