Context #NewspaperUKBrdshtTheGuardianJulianBorger "Abdul Ghani Baradar, the Taliban leader freed from a Pakistani jail on the request of the US less than three years ago, has emerged as an undisputed victor of the 20-year war. While Haibatullah Akhundzada is the Taliban's overall leader, Baradar is its political chief and its most public face. ... In 2018, however, Washington's attitude changed and Donald Trump's Afghan envoy, Zalmay Khalilzad, asked the Pakistanis to release Baradar so he could lead negotiations in Qatar, based on the belief that he would settle for a power-sharing arrangement. 'I had never seen any real substantiation of that point, but it just took on a kind of mythic idea,' the former official said. Baradar signed the Doha agreement with the US in February 2020, in what the Trump administration hailed as a breakthrough towards peace but which now appears a mere staging post towards total Taliban victory. The US and Taliban agreement not to fight each other was supposed to be followed by power-sharing talks between the Taliban and the Kabul government of Ashraf Ghani. Those talks stumbled along with little progress, and it is clear now that Baradar and the Taliban were playing for time, waiting for the Americans to leave and preparing a final offensive. Baradar's life has taught him patience and confidence in ultimate victory." https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/aug/15/talibans-abdul-ghani-baradar-is-undisputed-victor-of-a-20-year-war (15 August 2021). #2018_ #OrgClassifPPUSRepublicanPartyGOPPOTUSDonaldTrump #IRLDiplomatZalmayKhalilzad #ToponymEastMiddleQatar #2020_DohaAccord #ToponymAfghanistanKabul #IRLPoliticianAshrafGhani
