Afghanistan: Islamic Emirate Celebrates Doha Agreement Anniversary

KABUL, 02 March 2022, (TON): Two years ago, the then United States’ special envoy for Afghanistan reconciliation Zalmay Khalilzad signed a peace deal with Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar on Hot 10 (solar calendar) in Doha, Qatar.

The deal, which is often referred to as the "Doha Agreement" set the stage for the withdrawal of foreign forces and the end of America’s longest war in Afghanistan.

Suhail Shaheen, the head of the Islamic Emirate’s political office in Doha called the agreement a milestone in Afghan history, saying some parts of the agreement have yet to be implemented, like removal of names from the blacklist.

In tweets regarding the agreement, Shaheen said the sanctions on Afghanistan, and the lack of recognition of the current government of Afghanistan, contradicts the spirit of the Doha Agreement.

Anas Haqqani, a senior member of the Islamic Emirate, stated that the agreement paved the way for the end of the war.

“Afghanistan and the US are no longer military targets for each other.”
