There seems to be misconceptions regarding Taliban control.

Although some claim that the Taliban do not have control over their ground forces, this is false. The Taliban demonstrated control during prev.
EID holidays & is no rush for a ceasefire given the strength is on their side. Some analysts believe that the foot soldiers wont go along with what Doha says.

However, many of these analysts who studied Afghanistan for years still do not understand the culture.
There is no such thing as foot soldiers in that sense.

Rather, the men, in most cases are there at behest of their elders.

Elders who align themselves with the Taliban give the go signal for them in most cases. If you do not understand the tribal politics of Afghanistan,..
do not bother discussing AFG

Yes there are cases of Taliban men on their own initiative, however, those men obey their local Amir.

The unity of the Taliban is of utmost importance. Without it, the Taliban could not maintain this campaign.
What needs to happen is simple.

The Kabul regime must step down & allow an interim government where all parties & stakeholders have a say in the future of Afghanistan.

As the Taliban stated, they do not seek a monopoly on power, rather, they strive for a..
government based on the Quran & Sunnah.
