Taliban Says US Will Provide Humanitarian Aid to Afghanistan
The U.S. has agreed to provide humanitarian aid to a desperately poor Afghanistan on the brink of an economic disaster, while refusing to give political recognition to the country's new Taliban rulers, the Taliban said Sunday.

The statement came at the end of the first direct talks between the former foes since the chaotic withdrawal of U.S. troops at the end of August.

There was no immediate comment from the U.S. on the weekend meeting.

The Taliban said the talks held in Doha, Qatar, “went well,” with Washington freeing up humanitarian aid to Afghanistan after agreeing not to link such assistance to formal recognition of the Taliban.

The Taliban are not dummies.  They know us very well - better than our elite will want to admit.  We are feckless, flaccid fools. The Taliban are telling us what we want to hear.  The "humanitarian aid" will disappear into the bank accounts of the top dozen or so Taliban elders and then, they will turn around and ask for more.
