KABUL: The Afghan Taliban on arrival in Kabul have announced a general amnesty for civilians and government officials for not conquering the Afghan capital by force.
According to a tweet by senior journalist Saleem Safi, the Taliban have announced that they would not conquer Kabul by force. A statement from the Islamic Emirate instructed the Taliban to stand at the gates of Kabul and refrain from entering while announcing a general amnesty for all citizens and government officials and vowing to gain peaceful control of Kabul through negotiations.
طالبان کا کابل کو بزور طاقت فتح نہ کرنے کا اعلان۔ امارات اسلامی کے اعلامیہ میں طالبان کو کابل کے دروازوں پر کھڑے رہ کر اندر جانے سے گریز کی ہدایت۔ تمام شہریوں اور حکومتی اہلکاروں کے لئے عام معافی کا اعلان۔ مذاکرات کے ذریعے پرامن طریقے سے کابل کا کنٹرول حاصل کرنے کا عزم۔ pic.twitter.com/oBtM5g57xf
