The Taliban leadership has decided it will not hand over Bagram air base to the United States and is preparing to resume war if Washington attempts to seize it, according to details of high-level meetings in Kandahar obtained by Amu.
Multiple sources confirmed that Taliban leader Hibatullah Akhundzada has held a series of meetings in Kandahar in recent days with senior cabinet ministers, intelligence chiefs, military commanders and members of the council of clerics. The discussions followed repeated remarks by President Trump that Washington intends to retake the Bagram air base. Trump has warned that if the Taliban refuse, “bad things” will happen.
