Taliban say they 'want an inclusive government' in Afghanistan
Analysts caution that the militants — whose harsh and austere rule ended in 2001 when American troops invaded the country after the group sheltered 9/11 architect Osama bin Laden — have made similar but vague statements in the past about engaging with Afghan society and not seeking a monopoly on power. In practice, they warned, negotiations may not play out as Shaheen suggests.
"Will fighting continue between Taliban forces and the Afghan government? Will they try and take more territory while those talks are going on, or will be there some sort of peace or some sort of violence reduction?" she said. Graeme Smith, a senior consultant for the International Crisis Group, which aims to prevent and resolve deadly conflict“The Taliban has always vowed that they would never negotiate the political future of Afghanistan while there were foreign boots on Afghan soil,” he said.
“You can see the Taliban forming their thinking more and more clearly of the next steps of the political process,” he added.
