Taliban threatens to cancel peace pact with US

Moscow, Mar 19 (EFE), (Camera: Bernardo Suárez).- The Taliban Friday threatened to cancel a peace pact with the United States if it did not withdraw its troops from Afghanistan as promised in the agreement signed between the two sides in February 2020 in Doha.Taliban spokesperson Mohammad Naeem Wardak said group members in the Moscow peace conference insisted on implementing the Doha agreement.“If they do not, then we will have certain problems that would de-facto cancel the agreement reached in Doha,” Wardak told reporters in Moscow.Asked if there would be a military offensive if the US did not meet the May 1 deadline, Taliban leader Sohail Shaheen said it “will be a violation of the agreement on their part, not ours.”"If there is a violation (of the agreement), of course, then there will be a reaction. But we hope that does not happen," he said.FOOTAGE OF TALIBAN REPRESENTATIVES IN MOSCOW.SOUNDBITES OF MOHAMMAD NAEEM WARDAK, TALIBAN SPOKESPERSON.
