Reports indicate that a number of political opponents of the Taliban have gathered in the Turkish capital, Ankara, where they have begun discussions on the current situation in Afghanistan and broader regional developments.
According to details, the meeting brings together former government officials, political figures, civil society activists, and human rights defenders. Participants are reviewing Afghanistan’s future trajectory, potential political structures, and the impact of shifting international and regional dynamics.
The stated objective of the gathering is to examine how regional changes are affecting Afghanistan, exchange views on possible political solutions, and explore the idea of an alternative political vision for the country.
Participants emphasized that Afghanistan should not be viewed solely through a security lens, but rather as a complex political and social reality requiring sustained and serious engagement.
They also stressed the need for political consensus among Afghans and highlighted the importance of continued dialogue as a pathway toward long-term stability.
Sources suggest that the meeting is expected to continue for several days, after which participants are likely to present a set of recommendations regarding Afghanistan’s evolving situation.
Some analysts argue that such gatherings should remain aligned with national interests, warning that any agenda which leads to further instability or bloodshed in Afghanistan and serves external priorities is unacceptable.
