Russian Russian Special Representative for Afghanistan Zamir Kabul assessed the likelihood of a Taliban (which had been recognized as terrorist and banned in Russia) being forcibly seized power in Afghanistan. According to him, such a scenario is quite real.
Kabulov noted that this can only be prevented by national reconciliation. At the same time, he said, the Taliban itself is ready for a political compromise.
“Of course, the main part of the leadership has been eating the war for more than twenty years and understands the need to look for political solutions from the current impasse and internal,” Kabulov said. He emphasized that this could be seen not only in words, but also in intentions, “expressed in various forms.”
At the same time, according to the diplomat, new younger fighters are joining the movement, who “have an even greater fusion” and are convinced that they are fighting for the liberation of their homeland and the value of Islam.
“This passionate young part of the movement, led by individual field commanders, is still being radically liquidated. But they are also dying in these hostilities, which are now continuing, “Kabulov said.
In April, US President Joe Biden announced the end of the operation in Afghanistan and the withdrawal of US troops from it. militants themselves have already occupied 85% of the country's territory.
