Taliban were invited into Kabul, claims former President

Foreign Afghan President, Hamid Karzai, has made surprising revelations claiming that the Taliban were invited into Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan, prior to the August 15 takeover.

According to reports, the Taliban were invited to Kabul to “discuss a negotiated power-sharing agreement” which is contrary to the public opinion of a takeover. The former President added that it was to ensure the country doesn’t fall into chaos in the wake of the US withdrawal.

According to the Times of India, “Afghanistan witnessed a swift fall of US-backed Afghan forces” which could lead the country and its people into turmoil. Karzai told international media that the ‘peaceful’ negotiations were meant to protect the interests of the Afghan people from “unwanted elements” that could cause harm.

The officials were told to stay in their place during the peaceful takeover, according to reports. “I and others spoke to various officials and assurances were given to us that, yes, that was the case, that the Americans and the government forces were holding firm to the places [and] that Kabul would not fall”, claimed Hamid Karzai, former Afghan President.
