US: The Taliban has violated the Doha agreement

At a press briefing on Wednesday, Ned Price, the spokesperson for the US State Department, accused the Taliban of violating the Doha agreement by sheltering Ayman al-Zawahiri, the former leader of al-Qaeda who was killed in a US drone strike in Kabul on 31 July 2022.

Price also stated that the group had not fulfilled its commitment to “engage in political dialogue for a negotiated settlement” to the Afghan conflict.
