Taliban: our goals are beyond your understanding

[soloTraveller-yehf]

Taliban has hitted the most disturbing nerves of beggaristan and chho'iye Turikye. 🙏

[ПлатонУченик]

Have to note Taliban is getting smarter about diplomacy. In a sense they're trying to balance things like India, not seeking out enemies but cautious about friendship and fighting an enemy which nobody likes.

[hanzalaghaznavi]

The Taliban spokesman said clearly that we will never recognize the Israeli occupation
The occupiers have occupied our first Qibla and are oppressing the Palestinians
And we will count with him
بعون الله

Best move for Afghanistan's future and development. India always support Afghanistan.

Funny fact : Taliban is trying to be like a diplomatic and intelligence agency 😂

If this is really their thinking then I like it. There's enough problems to deal with in Afghanistan. Every country should first focus on their own country than fighting for others.

Smart move Afghanistan, you're out from the trap.

I'm beginning to like the Taliban. It surely doesn't care who it pisses off, be it the west or other Islamic countries.

It's not wonder!.
However, terrorist state embraces terrorist.

I can confidently say that after few years, Afghanistan's economy will be stronger and bigger than Pakistan's.

[jeremesimmons]

Prudent man. I hope the hardliners are convinced how good this could be for Afghanistan

[TheArtConnoisseur]

Very smart move by Taliban!!! Good to see that they are evolving as a country very soon. They knew very well whom to bug & whom to respect!!!!

[coolcapricorn]

Afghanistan - focus on mainstream education and economy only.

[Highway]

Give them a chance to prove themselves and are worthy of establishing their independent government

Afghanistan used to have the highest Jew population in the early 1940s so we don’t have any problems with Jews 🇦🇫❤️🇮🇱
