They\u2019ve been cooperative in extending some of the perimeter,\u201d adding, \u201cSo far the Taliban has not taken action against U.S. forces. So far they have, by and large, followed through on what they said in terms of Americans to pass through, and the like. And I\u2019m sure they don\u2019t control all of their forces. It\u2019s a rag tag force.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Taliban spokesperson Dr. Suhail Shaheen threatened, \u201cIt\u2019s a red line. President Biden announced that on 31 August they would withdraw all their military forces. So if they extend it that means they are extending occupation while there is no need for that. \u2026 If the U.S. or UK were to seek additional time to continue evacuations \u2014 the answer is no. Or there would be consequences,\u201d in an interview with <a href=\"https:\/\/news.sky.com\/story\/afghanistan-taliban-warns-there-will-be-consequences-if-biden-delays-withdrawal-of-us-troops-12388436\">Sky News<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Shaheen added, \u201cIt will create mistrust between us. If they are intent on continuing the occupation, it will provoke a reaction.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sky News stated that British Prime Minister Boris Johnson was \u201cset to personally plead\u201d with Biden to extend the deadline.<\/p>\n<p>When Sky News asked Shaheen about the scenes of desperate people fleeing Afghanistan at the prospect of Taliban rule, including some who fell from airplanes they clung to in hope of escape, Shaheen said dismissively:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"9\">\n<p><em>I assure you it is not about being worried or scared. They want to reside in Western countries and that is a kind of economic migration because Afghanistan is a poor country and 70% of the people of Afghanistan live under the line of poverty, so everyone wants to resettle in Western countries to have a prosperous life. It is not about [being] scared.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Shaheen also dismissed videos purportedly showing the Taliban searching out people door-to-door, saying, \u201cAll fake news. I can assure you there are many reports by our opponents claiming what is not based on realities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Of the prospects for women under Taliban rule, he claimed, \u201cThey will lose nothing. Only if they have no hijab, they will have a hijab\u2026 women are required to have the same rights as you have in your country but with a hijab. \u2026 Now, women teachers have resumed work. Lost nothing. Female journalists they have resumed their work.
