IEA’s policies “have to respect the views of a broader society” – Khalilzad

The former US special envoy for Afghanistan, Zalmay Khalilzad in his statement called on the Islamic Emirate to start a “consultative process” for governance, adding that the IEA’s policies “have to respect the views of a broader society.”

“Taliban are making some serious mistakes in my view. They appear to be repeating some of the mistakes that we see in Afghanistan in the last 40 years,” Khalilzad said.

The communist government in Afghanistan led to the civil war in the country, Khalilzad added, “In 1978, the communist party faction took power and then they moved against everyone else and that led to a civil war.”
