Negotiations took place between the representatives of Islamic Emirate and the United States of America in the city of Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, on the 17th and 18th of December 2018.
These series of meetings were also attended by representatives from three Islamic countries and the focal point of discussion was the withdrawal of foreign troops. Moreover, the delegation of Islamic Emirate presented documented information and proof to the participants about indiscriminate bombings against civilians and demanded its immediate halt. Talks were also held about humane treatment of prisoners and their freedom, a matter that shall be taken into consideration. The policy of Islamic Emirate about a ceasefire and talks with the Kabul administration, interim government, elections and other internal matters was already known beforehand and would not be discussed because the root cause of all problems and biggest obstacle to peace is the occupation of Afghanistan and bringing it to an end.
Future negotiation meetings shall continue after deliberations and consultations by both sides with their respective leaderships.

As the Islamic Emirate had announced prior, a meeting is taking place between representatives of the Islamic Emirate and United States in the United Arab Emirates.
The meeting will also be attended by representatives of Saudi Arabia and some other countries.
Claims by some media outlets associated with the Kabul administration that their representatives will also hold talks with those of the Islamic Emirate are unfounded. We strongly reject this propaganda. There is no plan of holding a meeting with representatives of the Kabul administration and neither are they present in the meeting being attended by the delegation of Islamic Emirate. Rumors being heard in this regard is mere propaganda, our countrymen should not pay it any heed.

The NATO Secretary General, Jens Stoltenberg, speaking to journalists during the NATO Ministerial meeting said that the cost of withdrawing occupying forces from Afghanistan would be greater than staying put.
The Islamic Emirate wants to make it clear regarding the latest comments by the head of NATO that the withdrawal or forcing-out of American and NATO invading forces from Afghanistan is unquestionable.
Our eighteen-year struggle and Jihad has shown the entire world including America and NATO that the Afghan Muslim and valiant nation will not tolerate foreign occupying and military presence under any circumstance.
The matter of NATO and US desiring or not desiring in Afghanistan is not up to them and this land will most definitely be purged from their ugly presence.
The idea of Afghanistan posing a threat to other countries is not grounded in reality. The Afghans have never taken steps to harm anyone, neither have they interfered in the affairs of other nations nor do they have any intention of doing so in the future.
Exploiting this issue for propaganda and disinformation has prolonged this war for eighteen years, internationally exposed and pushed NATO and US to the brink of defeat therefore it is time that this false idea is reformed and realities given precedence.
The formation of a government, establishing security and developing Afghanistan is a matter concerning the Afghans. No foreign occupying force has any legal right for determine the fate of Afghanistan, interfere in its matters or make comments as a proprietor.
The NATO secretary must learn lessons from the past. Blowing on the fire of war and making such irresponsible statements that only serve to prolong the war is not in the interest of any party.

The ‘Military Times’ website published a report citing the US Secretary of Defense, James Mattis, as saying that the United States wants to find a solution to the Afghan war but that does not involve troop withdrawal.
Mattis made these comments at Reagan National Defense Forum.
The Islamic Emirate wants to remind US Secretary of Defense Mattis and other officials that the valiant Afghan Muslim nation is absolutely determined in forcing the occupying American forces out of Afghanistan.
The political efforts of the Islamic Emirate for the withdrawal of American invaders should not be misconstrued as meaning that the American invaders will not be targeted militarily or that withdrawing and not withdrawing from Afghanistan are options chosen by American Generals!!!
The Islamic Emirate has afforded American an opportunity to end the occupation of Afghanistan and resolve their concerns through political means and at a minimum cost. But if the American officials and generals are of the belief that their occupying forces will remain in Afghanistan and that they will be left alone, then they should reassess their talks.
We will not tire or be disappointed in our Jihad. The Mujahideen of Islamic Emirate shall continue their armed struggle and Jihad until the withdrawal of the last American invader.
The biggest mistake of American military officials is that they do not adopt the path of reasoning and rationale and always use force and stubbornness even when it will not give results. The Afghan Mujahid nation has the right of forcing occupiers from their land through every medium possible and have twice forced out occupiers (British and Soviets) from Afghanistan over the past century. The Americans should read our history and learn a lesson from it.

Today a conference about Afghanistan was convened in Geneva. The conference was also attended by Ashraf Ghani along with his team.
During his speech, Ashraf Ghani declared setting up a negotiation team that will talk with the Islamic Emirate. He also forwarded proposals about negotiations that were beyond his capabilities.
The policy of the Islamic Emirate about negotiations is very clear. The Islamic Emirate, as a representative of its nation, is waging war against the American invaders for the past eighteen years.
The Islamic Emirate, as a representative of the valiant Mujahid Afghan nation and as a sovereign entity, is fighting and negotiating with the American invaders for the success of Jihad.
It considers talking to powerless and foreign imposed entities as a waste of time because impotent sides do not possess the capacity of making decision.
The entire world understands that more than half of Afghanistan is under the control of Islamic Emirate whereas the Kabul administration is installed by the Americans and imposed on the Muslim Afghan nation. This regime is neither the government of the Afghan people and neither can it represent the valiant and Mujahid Afghan nation.
