Islamist group’s spokesman uses first press conference to urge people trying to flee via Kabul airport to return home
The Taliban have said they seek no “revenge” on opponents and that everyone would be “forgiven” during the first press conference held by the hardline Islamist group since taking power in Kabul on Sunday.
Saying the group did not seek “internal or external enemies”, the spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid told reporters invited to the media centre used by the former Afghan government that the group wanted to “congratulate the [Afghan] nation” for its victory.
