They need to. Learn about each other the taliban say they have to change that afghans need to know this new taliban of to see what has changed and the taliban need to know what this new afghanistan is like and reach some broader understanding mutual acceptance the terms of an agreement about the future will be negotiated in the interest and negotiations but i believe this is a necessary for a step so im delighted that taking place.
