Officials Upbeat After Most Productive US-Taliban Talks So Far
Taliban interested in talking power-sharing deal with Afghan govt
Those familiar with this weekend’s peace talks between the US and the Taliban in Doha are praising the situation, calling the end of the war “more likely than ever,” after the most productive talks yet.
These sides have made productive talks several times this year, and these are said to be the most substantive yet, with a deal approaching agreement on two key points, the withdrawal of foreign troops and the Taliban’s commitment to keep ISIS and al-Qaeda out of Afghanistan.
(Afghan's are war weary after 40 years of fighting inside the country---the card board cutout NOBLE SAVAGE is ultimately human after all including the Taliban, and there is a basic national consensus among Afghans that the country does not need any more foreign fighters in the country. How do we know this?
In the height of 2001, there may have been 5000 foreign fighters in the country from Central Asia and Arab countries mainly.....most of them have moved back to their native countries and one rarely hears about them anymore....'American special forces kill Uzbek warlord' so on...
However the Pentagon according to credible sources have moved several thousand ISIS fighters into Afghanistan for further ops against Central Asia. These ISIS fighters are a challenge to the Taliban and its legitimacy and power in the resistance movement in Afghanistan, THUS the Taliban will fight them where ever they exist post USA withdrawal.....they are foreign, and they seem to replace the Taliban and their legitimacy in Afghanistan.....that is a fact, with several clashes already recorded.
Is it really possible for American air-power, and communications networks and satellite imagery helping the TALIBAN IDENTIFY, attack and destroy Pentagon ISIS imports..??????Is this level of cooperation possible??? That would be a really great confidence building platform.....not just talking and signing declarations.
CO-OPERATION can be tested immediately between the Taliban and the USA in the above scenario. An affirmation of good faith through cooperation)
Those two aspects of the deal have been a foregone conclusion for awhile. The Taliban is also inspiring confidence as they talk about power-sharing with the existing US-backed Afghan government, saying they don’t insist on a monopoly on power, but they want to have some of the power.
The Afghan government has long been reluctant to talk power-sharing with the Taliban, fearing that without US military support they’re going to have to give up substantial control over the country, in that they can’t enforce their own rule without US and NATO forces having their back.
Decades of failing to build a functioning Afghan government have a lot of NATO nations ambivalent about exactly where the power-sharing deal ends up. The Taliban’s pledge to support anti-terror operations is seen as particularly vital, since 19 years in, Afghan government forces show no ability to defeat any of those groups.
