[00:03:28] can benefit both countries.
[00:03:53] to reach a compromise so that the level of assistance to the people can be

[00:04:03] In order to improve the quality of products and protect the health and interests of consumers,
[00:04:06] a monitoring program was conducted in Kandahar province.
[00:04:25] was held. According to the report, Iran's
[00:04:28] partner, instead of continuing talks, has focused
[00:04:32] on preparing for a possible widespread war against the US and Israel
[00:04:35] in the past two months. According to reports, officials later
[00:04:39] became impatient with US and Israeli diplomatic efforts and believe

[00:04:57] that the current president
[00:06:17] of the Islamic Emirate, after
[00:06:20] this country's independence, sought friendship.
[00:07:10] Afghanistan, the center of competition for
[00:07:12] great powers.
[00:07:14] Afghanistan is a country in the heart of Asia that, due to its geographical
[00:07:18] location, has been affected by regional and international
[00:07:21] political developments throughout various periods
[00:07:25] of history. The wars of the past few decades have not only
[00:07:29] affected the political structure of the country but have also severely affected the lives of millions of Afghans,
[00:07:33] the economy, the social situation, and the future of
[00:07:37] future generations.
[00:07:37] It has.
[00:08:13] and the simplicity of the
[00:08:15] Afghan people.
[00:08:24] From struggle to the beginning of peace efforts.
[00:08:52] The United States of America and its allies
[00:08:54] launched their military operation in Afghanistan on October 7th of
[00:08:58] that year and occupied it. A few weeks later, the then government
[00:09:02] fell, and in December of the same year, the Bonn Conference
[00:09:06] for the establishment of a new political system began without considering
[00:09:09] the legitimate rulers of Afghanistan. Although the Emirate
[00:09:13] has always emphasized dialogue after the September 11th
[00:09:17] attacks, the occupiers and their puppet government did not pay
[00:09:21] attention to the legitimate demands of the nation and the Afghan system.
[00:09:42] countries trying to
[00:09:45] enforce the war in
[00:09:47] Afghanistan,
[00:09:50] in some countries,
[00:09:53] wanted to start
[00:09:57] this B thing against good
[00:10:00] thing we
[00:10:03] prefer to the
[00:10:05] negotiation and the
[00:10:08] peaceful way, not.
[00:10:25] Anyone who opposes them,
[00:10:28] threatens them, eliminates them, or forms a group
[00:10:32] against them.
[00:10:33] One
[00:10:36] of those groups was the Westerners,
[00:10:39] and they
[00:10:42] did not believe in dialogue
[00:10:45] at all. They only wanted to
[00:10:49] impose their own terror and their own
[00:10:53] policies on the people of Afghanistan.
[00:12:34] Everyone who participated in the Bonn
[00:12:37] Conference, they brought
[00:12:41] a period to Afghanistan
[00:12:44] that was unsuccessful, and
[00:12:48] an element that was present there, the Taliban,
[00:12:51] unfortunately, was not invited.
[00:13:10] From 2001 to 2021, Afghanistan was led by
[00:13:14] the Kabul administration. During this period, a constitution was approved, but with the alphabet of colonialism and exploitation.
[00:13:18] Elections were held, but individuals were appointed
[00:13:21] according to the preferences and wishes of the occupying countries. However,
[00:14:26] it did not want peace and stability in Afghanistan at all.
[00:14:47] During the 20-year occupation, thousands of Afghans lost their lives.
[00:14:51] Thousands more were injured, and millions suffered from war,
[00:14:55] displacement, and economic problems. The continuation
[00:14:58] of the war made the need for a political solution for all parties
[00:15:02] increasingly clear. Various efforts
[00:15:05] were made to secure peace. Over the years,
[00:15:09] proposals for dialogue were made, but these efforts did
[00:15:12] not lead to significant progress for a long time.
[00:15:16] Finally, in 2018, the peace process
[00:15:19] entered a new phase.
[00:15:45] was initiated by some individuals
[00:15:49] in some countries. Gradually, this
[00:15:52] issue, in approximately 2011, by
[00:15:56] Germany, which, in this regard, became
[00:16:00] a mediator, prepared to mediate.
[00:16:04] Naturally, the initial talks.
[00:16:08] Later, it happened that the
[00:16:11] government of Qatar
[00:16:15] took on the role of
[00:16:17] a mediator, or facilitator,
[00:16:19] of the negotiations,
[00:16:22] as they say.
[00:17:08] It was breath-taking.
[00:17:11] In the end, thank God, the desired results that the Islamic Emirate of
[00:17:15] Afghanistan and the Afghan nation
[00:17:18] wished for were achieved.

[00:17:38] its special representative for peace in Afghanistan.
[00:17:41] After that, direct negotiations between the American delegation

[00:20:41] because we are Muslims, and they are also Muslims. We
[00:20:44] must obey this Quran,
[00:20:47] and all the people of Afghanistan will gather.
[00:21:01] Throughout 2018 and 2019, several rounds of
[00:21:05] negotiations were held in Doha. In these talks,
[00:21:08] topics such as the withdrawal of foreign forces, preventing the use of
[00:21:12] Afghan soil against other countries, the start of intra-Afghan
[00:21:15] negotiations, and the reduction of violence were
[00:21:18] discussed. Both.
[00:23:52] These negotiations paved the way for a new chapter in Afghanistan's
[00:23:55] contemporary history, a chapter that profoundly affected the political
[00:23:59] and security situation of the country in the months and years to come.
[00:24:03] After several attempts to establish peace, on February 29,
[00:24:06] 2020, an important agreement was signed in Doha,
[00:24:09] the capital of Qatar, between the United States of America
[00:24:13] and the Islamic Emirate. This agreement was considered one of
[00:24:16] the most important stages of Afghanistan's contemporary political process.
[00:24:32] In September 2020, official negotiations began
[00:24:36] between the Kabul administration and representatives of the Islamic
[00:24:39] Emirate in Doha. These negotiations were monitored by
[00:24:43] supporting countries and international organizations.

[00:25:26] The acceleration of developments and events in
[00:25:30] 2014. With the beginning of the summer of
[00:25:33] 2021, political and security developments in Afghanistan
[00:25:37] continued at an unprecedented pace. In July and August, successive
[00:25:40] reports were published about the changing security situation in various provinces of the country.
[00:25:44] During this period, a number of provinces and districts one after another
[00:25:48] fell out of the control of the Kabul administration and into the hands of.
[00:27:02] had a profound impact on the daily lives of the people and the performance of the
[00:27:06] Kabul administration. The activities of some administrations were
[00:27:10] limited, and in some areas, administrative vacuums emerged.
[00:27:13] At the same time, peace negotiations in Doha officially
[00:27:16] continued. However, the field changes had a direct
[00:27:20] impact on the political talks. On the 24th of Asad
[00:27:24] 1400 Hijri Solar, corresponding to August 15,
[00:27:26] 2021, reports were published about the entry of
[00:27:30] Islamic Emirate mujahideen into Kabul city.
[00:29:32] The withdrawal of foreign forces. After the events
[00:29:35] of the twenty-fourth of August 1400, Afghanistan entered a
[00:29:38] completely new phase of political and security developments.
[00:29:42] Administrative structures in various parts of the country were adjusted
[00:29:45] according to the new conditions, and the process of power
[00:29:49] transfer in Kabul was gradually completed. At the same time, the last phase
[00:29:53] of the withdrawal of international forces also continued. In August
[00:29:56] 2021, Kabul International Airport became the main center
[00:29:59] for the evacuation and withdrawal of foreign forces. The

[00:30:13] soldier left Afghanistan, thus ending the nearly
[00:30:17] 20-year military presence and occupation of the US in this country.

[00:30:24] in the contemporary history of Afghanistan and its relations with the international community.
[00:30:27] It was.
