At least 20 activists, including three women, who live abroad, met with the Taliban members in Doha, Qatar on April 20, after a sudden cancellation of the much-awaited Qatar meeting over disagreements on the 250-member delegation, Taliban members and those familiar with the meeting confirmed, reports Tolo News.
The meeting continued for six hours and the result, or at least the vibe, was positive as some attendees of the meeting put it. Taliban has confirmed the meeting, saying the suggestions made by the activists will be taken into consideration in the peace talks. “We are from the limited figures who are not political. We are not political and our goal from attending the conference was taking part and sharing our thoughts with the Taliban members and the Afghan government,” said Khatol Mohmand, an Afghan activist.
