KABUL – In a letter issued to the media on Wednesday, the Taliban called onthe American people to put pressure on US President Donald Trump to changehis war policy in Afghanistan and pursue peace.

The letter which is addressed to “the American people”, says the US invadedAfghanistan for three goals: “establishing security by eliminating theso-called terrorists inside Afghanistan, restoring law and order byestablishing a legal government and eradicating narcotics”. However, theletter says the US and its allies have failed to achieve these goals.

The letter has mentioned that the continuance of war and remaining of USforces in Afghanistan is not in favor of anyone and that this “threatensthe stability of the world”.

“Your president and his military and political officials following his warpolicies still speak the language of war in Afghanistan,” the letter says.

The Taliban asks the American people that if they want peaceful dialoguewith the Afghans specifically and with the world generally, then they needto make their president (Donald Trump) and the “war-mongering congressmenand Pentagon officials understand this reality and compel them to adopt arational policy towards Afghanistan”.

According to the letter, this will be the most constructive step for thestability of US people, the Afghans and the entire world.
