Taliabn misbehaved Turkish intel chief and Pak resuming bombing. According to a source within Kandahar , Taliban Ministers in Kabul told Türkiye’s intelligence chief that the issues he wanted to discuss could only be addressed in Kandahar and that beyond our kabul based leadership authority. Turkish intel chief was invited to Kandahar, but according to the same source, the Taliban chief perhaps last minute said: “ they are Western, Don’t bring them to my office.” At the last minute, the Kandahar authorities arranged a meeting with Mullah Shahreen Kandhar governor in the Mullah Omar Mosque—an unusually undiplomatic setting for such a senior foreign official. The Turkish intelligence chief reportedly later told Pakistan that expecting “sensible behaviour” from the Taliban means “fooling Ourselves.” If accurate, this episode helps explain the growing frustration behind Pakistan’s return to military pressure—but bombing Afghanistan is no substitute for diplomacy, border management and addressing the roots of militancy.
