Afghanistan: US and Taliban discuss aid in first direct talks since US exit

The statement came at the end of their first direct addresses, in Qatar, since US colors left Afghanistan in August.

Away from aid, the addresses concentrated on containing revolutionist groups and the evacuation of US citizens.
US officers described the conversations as candid and professional, but added that the Taliban would be judged by their conduct.

The US claimed the meeting didn’t amount to recognition of the Taliban.
In a statement issued on Sunday night, the Taliban said”US representatives stated that they will give philanthropic backing to Afghans and will give installations for other philanthropic organisations to deliver aid.”
It added that the Taliban would” co-operate with charitable groups in delivering the philanthropic backing to those meritorious transparently, and will grease the principled movement of foreign citizens”.

Still, the US has yet to formally confirm the Taliban’s claim on aid.
Prophet Ned Price said that the two sides had bandied the provision”of robust philanthropic backing, directly to the Afghan people,”without furnishing farther details.

“The US delegation concentrated on security and terrorism enterprises and safe passage for US citizens, other foreign citizens and our Afghan mates, as well as mortal rights, including the meaningful participation of women and girls in all aspects of Afghan society”, he said.
The addresses were held as Afghanistan faces what aid workers sweat is a severe philanthropic extremity.
