[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The Taliban, responsible for the recent spate of terror attacks, have called on US President Donald Trump to review his country\u2019s Afghan policy and to hold peaceful direct dialogue with Afghans instead of having dialogue with “corrupt” politicians.<\/p>\n
According to Qatar based Aljazeera, know for breaking Al-Qaeda and Taliban related news, the letter written in a tone of negotiation, the Taliban asked Donald Trump to\u00a0study the “historical mistakes” of \u00a0previous administrations and completely withdraw troops from Afghanistan. The group urged US to interact with Afghans “generously” instead of imposing war.<\/p>\n
Few years ago Taliban office was opened in Doha, Qatar for starting dialogue with Afghan government. However, it could not take off because of certain diplomatic glitches. Recently Saudi Arabia, UAE, Bahrain and Egypt have severed their diplomatic, trade and travelling ties with Qatar.<\/p>\n
The letter from Taliban further says, “It seems to be a historical mistake on part of the previous administrations to have dispatched American youth for the slaughter of Afghans. However, as a responsible American president, you need to study the mistakes of your predecessors and prevent death and injury to American forces in Afghanistan.”<\/p>\n
