Why is the Doha Agreement considered a document of the Taliban's surrender to the United States?
Some important points from the speech of Ahmad Zia Siraj, former head of Afghan intelligence
The US conditions for the Taliban in 2001, which the Taliban did not accept, were as follows:
1 - All al-Qaeda leaders, including Osama bin Laden, must be extradited to the United States or sent to a third country.
2 - All al-Qaeda camps in Afghanistan must be closed, and cooperation and communication with this organization and similar groups must be stopped.
But in 2020, the Taliban accepted much tougher US conditions and officially surrendered, namely:
1 - Sever ties with al-Qaeda and other terrorist groups;
2 - Prevent threats from Afghanistan to the United States and its allies;
3 - The Taliban's commitment to prevent al-Qaeda and other terrorist groups from operating in Taliban-controlled areas;
4 - Negotiations between the Taliban and the Afghan government and the start of intra-Afghan talks;
5 - Formation of an inclusive government;
6 - Ensuring human rights and women's participation in all government affairs;
7 - Fighting ISIS and preventing the distribution of Afghan passports and ID cards to ISIS members.
After reviewing and comparing the initial US conditions for the Taliban and the conditions that were agreed upon in Doha, it becomes clear that the Taliban surrendered to the US and accepted all of their conditions.
In addition, the agreement included several other points, for example, one point was the assassination of al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri, information about whose location the Taliban shared with the Americans and the US eliminated him.
And the exchange of information with the US was also one of the secret points of the Doha agreement...
