The United States and the Taliban meet for talks on Saturday

A US delegation will meet senior Taliban people on Saturday and Sunday in Qatar’s capital Doha, a US State Department spokesman told AFP.

“We want to press the Taliban to respect the rights of all Afghans, including women and girls, and to form an inclusive government with broad support,” the spokesman said. It further states that the United States will also ask the Taliban to open up for emergency aid “while Afghanistan is facing a possible dramatic economic downturn and a possible humanitarian crisis”.

They will also speak on the evacuation of civilians and allies left behind in Afghanistan.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs emphasizes that the meeting does not mean that the United States recognizes the Taliban as the country’s leaders.

– We are still clear that legitimacy must be given on the basis of the Taliban’s actions, it is said.

It is unclear who will represent the two the parties. General Frank McKenzie, head of the US Central Command, was among those who met with the Taliban in connection with the evacuation.

In August this year, Western forces withdrew from Afghanistan. The Western-backed Afghan regime collapsed, and the Taliban regained power in the country, 20 years after the US invasion.

Even criminals in uniform enjoy royal retirement pensions in civilian life and no one touches them

Koncom apríla tohto roku išla cez obec Ostrovany v okrese Sabinov štvorkolka, ktorú riadil 46-ročný muž. Nikoho nepredbiehal, nikto nešiel oproti nemu, a teda zdanlivo nezmyselne prešiel do protismerného pruhu. Po chodníku – z pohľadu vodiča vľavo od cesty – práve kráčali štyria chlapci. Na ich úrovni tesne pri obrubníku vodič dosť kostrbatým manévrom prudko pribrzdil, otočil sa…
