										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are no foreign takers for the Taliban fifty days after the Sunni Pashtun terrorist army militarily captured Kabul, with India placing the onus on the secrecy of Doha deal makers to take the first step toward recognition of the medieval Islamic regime.</p>
<p>The US special envoy Zalmay Khalilzad, now Taliban deputy prime minister Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, Qatari national security advisor Mohammed bin Ahmed Al Mesned, UK chief of defense staff Nick Carter, and Pakistani army chief Qamar Jawed Bajwa were involved in the so-called Doha Peace Process. No other country has been given access to the details of the Doha process. Behind the scenes, the Taliban&#8217;s seizure of Kabul was supported by Russian presidential envoy to Afghanistan Zamir Kabulov and Chinese foreign minister Wang Yi.</p>
