We do not accept condition-based aid: Taliban
2021-09-08
[KhaamaPress] Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan said that they will not accept humanitarian aid from any country in case they are based on conditions.

Acting minister of information and culture and spokesperson of the Taliban
...the Pashtun equivalent of men...
Zabiullah Mujahid said that they will not allow those aid which is later followed by orders and/or suggestions.

Zabiullah Mujahid in a presser in Kabul on Monday, September 6 said that they need international humanitarian aid and welcome such aids but added that the aid should be free of conditions.

He said that such condition-based aid is deemed as interference in our internal affairs and they are not allowing any country to do so.

"The incoming government in Afghanistan will be free of any kind of interference and the Afghan people will make decision by themselves." Added Mujahid

Prior to that, he had also reacted to the accusations of Pakistain’s interference after the ISI chief visited Kabul and had added that no country including Pakistain is allowed to meddle in the internal affairs of Afghanistan.

Mujahid said that Faiz Hameed had come to Kabul to share his country’s concerns about the people crossing Spin Boldak crossing point into Pakistain. As per Mujahid, Hameed feared anti-Pakistain figures may cross the crossing point but he was made sure that Afghanistan’s soil will not threaten Pakistain’s security.

#4  The Taliban is Islamic. Deception and lying (Taqiyya) is a part of Islam. There's a built-in fundamental distrust from the gitgo.

We're coming up on the 20th anniversary of 911. That should be a start reminder. Continued survival of the Emirate ought to be made clear if they don't stop playing games and come around.

Unfortunately, our current crop of morons in D.C. are not likely to negotiate in this way.

Hell is DC & State Dept crazy enough to actually think the historically Islamic Radical Taliban has any sense of honoring obligations and agreements with Infidels?
