Democracy in the News 6: Taliban reveals political strategy for first time

February 15th, 2012 by mandy

Taliban revealed that they had talked with the U.S. but refused to negotiate with the Afghan government. It is apparent that the U.S. is a bargaining chip for the Taliban to maintain its bases in Afghanistan.

I wonder if successful negotiations between the U.S. and the Taliban will facilitate democratic transition in Afghanistan……when the role of the Afghan government is totally degraded and ignored by the Taliban……..it is worth seeing how this tug-of-war between the U.S. and the Taliban will evolve.
