There are no Chinese troops in Afghanistan and the Bagram Airfield is under the control of the Afghan government, said a Taliban official.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe don\u2019t accept the presence of foreign troops in Afghanistan. We fought against occupation and now it is very irrational that we should give any base for foreign troops including Chinese. Trump is using Chinese cards to get votes from the people,\u201d the official told Harici on condition of anonymity.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujhaid rejected Trump\u2019s statements about selling US military equipment in Afghanistan.<\/p>\n
\u201cAny equipment that was and is in Afghanistan is all stored and stationed and is the property of Afghanistan. Additionally, it is protected and safeguarded for the preservation of our homeland, our values, and the defense of our compatriots and our soil. Not a single weapon will be wasted, sold, or transferred,\u201d Mujahid told a local news agency.<\/p>\n
Trump had recently said that after the withdrawal of US forces from Afghanistan, the country has become the largest seller of leftover American weaponry in the world.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou know that right now, Afghanistan is one of the largest sellers of weapons in the world. They are selling the brand new beautiful weapons that we gave them,\u201d Trump said in one of his rallies.<\/p>\n
Taliban says they don\u2019t tolerate the presence of foreign troops who committed war crimes in Afghanistan<\/strong><\/p>\n A Taliban official at the ministry of interior said that Taliban leadership will not tolerate the presence of foreign troops in Afghanistan. \u201cIn the past 20 years, I mean during the occupation, the foreign troops have committed dozens of war crimes and killed tens of thousands of people in a brutal and unlawful way. Even children were not spared,\u201d the official said, who wished anonymity.<\/p>\n He said that there are several cases of war crimes committed by US, UK, and Australian forces and there is no justice in those recorded cases.<\/p>\n The Australian government had accepted that its troops had committed war crimes during their military mission in Afghanistan and promised to compensate the families of innocent Afghans.<\/p>\n A spokesperson for the defense minister of Australia said that the \u201cestablishment of the Afghanistan Inquiry compensation scheme represents a significant step forward in closing out these recommendations.\u201d<\/p>\n The compensation by the Australian government came after the Taliban called on countries that committed war crimes in Afghanistan to compensate the victims’ families.<\/p>\n Australian judge Paul Bretreton was the first who in 2020 proposed compensation for victims’ families and he exposed war crimes committed by Australian forces between 2005 and 2016 that resulted in the deaths of 39 Afghans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Afghanistan is no longer an occupied country and there is no room for US, or any other foreign troops inside Afghanistan, said a Taliban official in a reaction to Donald Trump\u2019s statement who said that he would have kept Bagram Airfield in Afghanistan.
