Afghanistan: US-Truppenabzug?
(15.10.2018)
Al Jazeera (via Bpb-Newsletter) berichtet, die USA hätten in Vorverhandlungen mit den afghanischen Taliban die Option eines Truppenabzugs nicht kategorisch ausgeschlossen, sollte es zu umfassenden Waffenstillstandsvereinbarungen kommen: „The United States has agreed to discuss the withdrawal of its troops from Afghanistan in a direct meeting with Taliban representatives in Qatar, officials from the armed group said. In a preliminary meeting in Doha on Friday, Taliban representatives and US envoy Zalmay Khalilzad discussed the Taliban’s conditions to end the 17-year war in Afghanistan, two top Taliban officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, told Al Jazeera.“ (jw)
