A top US spy, Central Intelligence Agency, CIA, Director,
William Burns, has met secretly with Taliban leader, Abdul Ghani Baradar, in
Kabul, Afghanistan, as the deadline for the US military to conclude its airlift
approaches very fast.
The meeting is the highest-level diplomatic encounter since
the militant group took over the Afghanistan government over two weeks ago.
The Washington Post quoted a government source as saying
that Burns met the Taliban leader as the Biden administration makes efforts to
evacuate Americans and other allies amid chaos at the airport in Kabul.
The report speculated that the likely subject of discussion
was the impending 31 August deadline.
The meeting was held as the United Nations’ top human rights
official has cried out over serious human rights violations committed by the
Taliban in Afghanistan.
These human rights violations include summary executions of
civilians, restrictions on women and limitations on protests against their
rule.
