Our rule in Afghanistan won't be violent: Taliban spokesperson
2021-08-13
[RUDAW.NET] A Taliban
...Arabic for students...
 spokesperson told Rudaw on Thursday that their rule in Afghanistan will not be violent mostly peaceful, adding that they will treat women as per the Islamic law.

When asked about the videos circulated on social media, purportedly showing Taliban fighters mistreating people, Zabiullah Mujahid told Rudaw’s Shaho Amin late Thursday that, "when someone is in a fight with the enemy, they will be violent mostly peaceful with them."

"However,
denial ain't just a river in Egypt...
 we will not be violent mostly peaceful with our people. Did you know that we have taken control of 13 states within the country in seven days, and we have established our rule in those 13 states. This means that we are not violent mostly peaceful. People want us and they ask us to be with them. Everyone supports us, and we will give them all the rights specified in the Islamic sharia. We are committed to this," he added.

Taliban has made new advances in government-held areas recently.

The Pentagon decided on Thursday to deploy around 3,000 troops to Kabul immediately in order to evacuate the US embassy employees, according to Defense Department front man John Kirby.

Mujahid also talked about the discussions between Taliban and Afghani political parties in Doha, claiming that these parties are not united when it comes to making a deal with Taliban.

"So, we cannot wait for them but take serious steps in order to end war in this country, return security to his country and Afghanis."

#9  By the way: Afghanistan has about $9.5 billion in international reserves (cash, gold, dancing girls, that kind of thing). Who gets that loot? I understand Congress spends that much before breakfast, but why give the Taliban a bigger war chest than they already have?

Given what is deemed acceptable by the Taliban. Like cutting off a persons head in the streets for perceived religious offenses.

I would have asked a more pointed question like,
"Like what do you consider Violent".
