Re: Taliban no more terrorists?
All locals are not the same in Afghanistan. There are several ethnic people living there. This is why there was conflict between Pashtun Taliban and others.
The fight between Taliban and others was not between “Islamic” Taliban and others, rather it was between Pashtuns and others. Otherwise many Tajiks are as much radically fanatic as Taliban.
So it is simplistic to say that “locals are locals”, and that ALL “locals” are fighting foreigners.
In reality “locals minus Pashtuns” are in government presently and support the US.
Pashtun locals, who form majority Taliban movement, are outside the government.
Your implication is that Pashtun locals should be given preference over other locals of Afghanistan, even if they bring back the anti-Islamic Taliban mafia in power.
