मौजूदा समय में #Afghanistan को लेकर विमर्श में #Taliban को ‘अफ़ग़ानिस्तान की समस्या’ के केंद्र में रखा गया है. इसकी जगह #Afghan नागरिकों के #Economic रूप से बचे रहने को प्राथमिकता दी जा सकती है.

[Chayanika Saxena, PhD @mobilemigrant]

@TimorSharan making a very solid case against why the good versus bad dichotomy in dealing with the #Taliban is not only unwise but is self-defeating. #Afghanistan #UN

[Just Security @just_security]

The idea of a "moderate" #Taliban is a misconception, writes @TimorSharan.

He urges policymakers to rethink their strategy of engagement on #Afghanistan:
