    My take on how the Taliban might govern The main point is that the West must figure out how to engage with the Taliban strategically (and fast), not only to secure their own interests in the region -- but, more importantly, to help Afghans

    On Taliban & women rights: important to remain focused on legal rights and next steps for existing legal rights of women. That should be the baseline. Behavior/practice can change overnight & tends to be context specific/varied by province, local “authorities” etc

    Boggles the mind that every single person involved in the post-9/11 fiasco has not gone into seclusion, made a public apology, committed seppuku, something, anything. There's more accountability for a McDonald's franchisee than the foreign policy/national security establishment

    Evacuation flights from are leaving nearly empty. Thousands of Afghans with travel docs can’t get to airport. Taliban have erected checkpoints and are preventing people from entering. Need to secure a clear path for people to get on their flights.

    This thread is to clarify the location of DAB (Central Bank of Afghanistan) international reserves I am writing this because I have been told Taliban are asking DAB staff about location of assets If this is true - it is clear they urgently need to add an economist on their team

    It is so, so easy to dump on this. But remember that once the diplomats have evacuated and the world's attention wanes... agencies like will be left as the main channel of aid to . And they will need to maintain some very difficult relationships indeed.

    "The Taliban broadly face a choice: Lay siege, seek revenge and destroy the vestiges of the post-2001 intervention or absorb what they can and strike deals with those people and factions that can be persuaded to cooperate," writes

    I am slightly annoyed I didn't write about these WhatsApp helplines ages ago. But when I heard about them, they weren't "helplines". It was more just, your local Taliban were reachable by WhatsApp, and if you called, they would resolve disputes. It's just how they govern

    simple task if you are advocating for evacuation of vulnerable Afghans, regardless of their nationality or status, is to contact your congressional rep *via phone*.

    Another powerful gesture from the Taliban - soon after spokesman was interviewed by a female anchor on Tolo TV. Questions now - is this a PR campaign, or a sign of fundamental change in how they plan to rule? And do the leaders doing this have support from the whole group?
