Afghanistan: The Taliban will not accept an extension of the evacuation deadline

The Taliban will not accept an extension of the August 31 deadline for the withdrawal of Western forces from Afghanistan, two Islamist sources told Reuters.

However, they said no Western government or official had approached the Taliban about a possible extension.

It is recalled that US President Joe Biden has left open the possibility of extending the deadline of August 31 for the withdrawal of US troops if required in the context of the operation to remove American, foreign and Afghan citizens.
