The Taliban (Once Again) Urge For Negotiation

On Thursday, May 21, the Countries of the UN Security Council met to decide upon a plan to end the crisis in Pakistan. So far, the Taliban urges the countries to negotiate with them, however, the Taliban say that the countries are far too unorganized to reach a concrete decision to end the crisis.

Based on what the Taliban say, it appears that the countries seem that they are unable to come up with a solution, “because all of the countries have different needs and agendas.” So far, the countries have not been able to create an accepted strategy because each country feels differently about the situation. What the countries fail to realize is that in order to develop a strategy, they must be willing to compromise with each other. Some country is going to have to sacrifice their beliefs in order to agree on a viable strategy. However, the countries of the UN Security Council have shown their stubbornness as most countries will only try and solve the crisis in one way.

Also, many countries have been so focused on their own safety that they have forgotten about the big picture. The fact is that the Taliban are in possession of four nuclear weapons but India stationed troops on the border in order to prevent the Taliban from moving into India.

With this current mindset, the countries will not be able to agree upon terms with the Taliban. Most likely, their will be no agreements between the countries and the Taliban will create a nuclear meltdown.
