Note|end of Doha meeting; From the failure of the hypothesis of the Taliban-US deal to Kabul’s orientation towards the “region”

Regional Office Tasnim News Agency, the traffic of meetings about Afghanistan, especially during the last month and their premature announcement, has fueled the market of speculations, accusations and even rumors. had done that different parties were preparing for a big event in Doha, and in order not to fall behind this caravan, they did not give up any attention in the virtual and non-virtual space, as well as attending these meetings.

With some indulgence It can be said that the spark of this uproar started from the meeting of the Security Council in December and the emphasis on the appointment of a new special representative for Afghanistan. A report by Feridon Sinirlioglu, the UN coordinator for Afghanistan affairs, was approved with 13 positive votes and two abstentions from China and Russia.

In this resolution, the Secretary General of the United Nations was asked, in addition to consulting the members of the Security Council and the international community, to get the opinions of the actors and relevant political stakeholders of Afghanistan, including the relevant authorities, Afghan women and civil society, to determine this A special representative should be used to implement the recommendations and evaluation of Mr. Oglu.

This resolution faced the opposition of the Taliban government, but it created a green light and a hope for the opponents of the current government in Kabul, which always closes its doors to get support.

Taliban government on the 5th of Bahman by hosting ambassadors and representatives The countries of the region and Central Asia in Kabul tried to neutralize the request of the Westerners with the support of the United States and pressure through the United Nations by emphasizing regional cooperation and opposing the appointment of an additional special representative for Afghanistan.

Taliban emphasized The imposition of foreign versions has always made the situation more complicated in Afghanistan. However, following the publication of the official invitation to the Taliban to attend the Doha meeting, the comments of domestic and foreign groups and various individuals, from experts. From the international crisis group to some opponents and supporters of this process, speculations have multiplied to increase the importance of Doha. In this regard, people and some media have compared the Doha meeting with the “Ben” meeting. They even talked about the behind-the-scenes agreements with America and the negotiations between Washington and the Taliban years ago, and they envisioned the way of inclusive participation in the future government and issues like this for this meeting.

The European Union and the American representatives also tried before holding the Doha meeting with the Central Asian countries in Bishkek. During a four-day trip to Afghanistan, he announced the holding of the Bishkek meeting a week earlier.

He told reporters in Kabul that he was optimistic about the Doha meeting. It is considered an important opportunity and there is hope for solving Afghanistan’s challenges. The approach of the Doha meeting for Afghanistan has increased at the same time as the meetings of senior UN officials to encourage the Taliban to attend the meeting, while no details of its content have been published, and the Taliban government also wants to attend the meeting to receive the detailed structure, agenda and composition of this meeting. The meeting was conditional.

After efforts to persuade the Taliban government, which of course did not go anywhere, some countries and western institutions, including Amnesty International, the Munich meeting and some foreign opponents, issued statements on rights issues. Humanity and women were considered to be the main prerequisites for the integration of Afghanistan in the international system, and the opposition media also made a futile attempt by plowing into the past of the Doha talks. Finally, the Taliban government did not participate and the Doha meeting was held on 29 It ended on 30 Bahman without significant results and left its efforts to the next meeting of the Security Council.
