English PageIssue 289 (8) Asian Tribune September 10, 2021EditorialThe new men in KabulFor an organisation that concealedthe death of its previous chieffor two years, the Taliban are living upto their reputation of being intenselysecretive. There has been as yet nopublic discussion on the national song,leave alone weightier issues like theConstitution and the national flag. Theirconfabulations last week in Kandaharleft no one the wiser about the broadstructure of the government — an emirateor an Islamic republic. The inclusionin the government of non-Pashtuns andthose ideologically opposed throughconsultations should be the sine quanon for an inclusive and hence stableAfghanistan.But the prospects of a broadbasedgovernment are not too bright.The Taliban chose the military optionwith the Panjshiris after a mere threehours of negotiations. Their discussionswith Hamid Karzai and AbdullahAbdullah have also withered. The visitof the ISI chief along with unnamedPakistani officials to Kabul suggeststhat the Taliban may even be battlingdivisions in their ranks over powersharing.Or that Rawalpindi has beensufficiently pressured by global powersto make a direct intercession for an inclusivegovernment. For, times havechanged since the days of the previousTaliban rule from 1996 to 2001.Pakistan will be doing the Afghansa great disservice if they replicateanother ‘Col Imam’, like the lasttime, to act as the virtual vice regent.Afghanistan needs all the help it canfrom overseas. The US, Europe andIndia will have to be convinced that thecountry does not have pockets of deepdiscontent. China may recall thatRashid Dostum’s dissonance withKabul forced it to shutter the oil wells.The Tajik President, whose kin are thesecond largest group in Afghanistan,has openly expressed his disquiet atthe Taliban’s victory. Afghanistan’shopes of economic sustainability reston earnings from transit fees of gaspipelines and fair use of natural resources.To gain the globalcommunity’s confidence, the men controllingKabul must demonstrate theiraccommodation of women in governanceand public life. Mere nominationof ethnic minorities from its RehbarShura as ministers will not convince theglobal community.Yash SharmaStress on ‘learning’ in learning schoolsChina’s dictatorship diplomacy in MyanmarEditorial TeamProf .
