What happened to the Russian policy of propping up Taliban, supporting pakistan to gain leverage with Taliban and also support Terrorist in Pakistan, so that Isis can be managed from becoming a threat to Russia and CIS using Taliban. Also the hopes of sweet revenge for Soviet Afghan invasion and the ensuing jihad... All dreams seems collapsing even before starting. It would be a second lesson for russia that terrorist of all hues are primarily terrorist and then only agents of any country against other countries. WHAT IS THE RESPONSE OF ZAMIR KABULOV TO THIS, I wonder.

it's always interesting to see how an 'organisation' (or movement) tends to have internal fighting when things don't go their intended way.
The Taliban leader has called on the group's supporters to stop fighting Daesh.
MOSCOW (Sputnik) — The leader of the Taliban movement (terrorist group banned in Russia) in Afghanistan, Hibatullah Akhundzada, urged his supporters to stop fighting Daesh militants, local media reported Saturday.
Akhundzada addressed his supporters about 10 days ago during a meeting of the Taliban leadership in one of the districts of Helmand province in southern Afghanistan, the 1TV News broadcaster reported, citing an official in country's security forces.
Members of the Quetta Shura (the Taliban leadership council, based in the Pakistani city of Quetta), and representatives of the movement from various parts of Afghanistan, reportedly also took part in the meeting. Akhundzada advocated an end to the confrontation with the Daesh citing "common goals."
In the past, there were clashes between the Taliban and Daesh. In the end of April, media reported the deaths of more than 90 militants from both sides during a clash between the two militant groups. Around that time, Daesh militants killed one of Taliban leaders in the city of Peshawar in northwestern Pakistan.
Afghanistan has long been suffering from unstable political, social and security situation due to the simmering militant insurgency. The Afghan National Defense and Security Forces are currently conducting joint offensive operations to combat terrorism across the country.
