London, Aug. 15: A Taliban spokesman has told the BBC's Yalda Hakim "there will be no revenge" on the people of Afghanistan.
"We assure the people in Afghanistan, particularly in the city of Kabul, that their properties, their lives are safe - there will be no revenge on anyone," Suhail Shaheen told the BBC.
"We are the servants of the people and of this country."
"Our leadership have instructed our forces to remain at the gate of Kabul - not to enter the city. We are awaiting a peaceful transfer of power."
He also said all Afghans would have participation in the Islamic government - meaning Afghans who are not Taliban would also be included.
