1/3. Taliban is a reality of Afghanistan. They are Afghans and Muslims. They have a proxy element i.e. embedded foreign fighters but the Afghan element of them are the sons of this soil. They are a reality and we need to deal with or without the international community’s support

2/3. with them. Equally, the Republic and new generation of #AFG is a reality. They are sons and daughters of this soil. The expatriates of this side plus warmongers and the foreign fighters plus proxy/criminal economy element of the Taliban side makes peace and a political

3/3. settlement harder. Because they have a vested political and business interest in the continuation of this bloody conflict. Those who wholesomely reject one or the other reality is living on Mars. Time to wake up and see realities.
