Priorities

The third crucial issue is Afghanistan. Doha has hosted the ongoing peace talks between the Taliban and the United States, as well as the inter-Afghan negotiations. This sends a global message that “mediation and peace” is Doha’s priority. Moreover, at a time in which US President Donald Trump appears to want to close the Afghani file (it has been reported that he will be looking to pull out all US troops from Afghanistan by next year’s presidential election), Doha’s would be the government to cooperate with. Although Qatar has received some criticism in the West for its ties to the Taliban, the US diplomatic establishment undeniably has been grateful to Doha for its ability to serve as a “neutral” platform for talks between various parties fighting in Afghanistan, including the Taliban. Interestingly, at a time in which the Taliban’s leadership has grown increasingly suspicious of both Saudi Arabia and Turkey’s intentions vis-à-vis Afghanistan, the Qataris have benefited from such dynamics that have left the Taliban viewing Doha as the most trusted US-allied capital capable of playing a “neutral” role in relation to Afghanistan’s 18-year conflict. As former Congressman James Moran (D-VA) recently stated at a think tank event in DC, Qatar deserves credit for its “essential” diplomatic role in relation to Afghanistan. insidearabia
