The U.S. and Taliban are to hold the first talks since Afghanistan withdrawal

Afghans watch as Taliban fighters ride atop a humvee after detaining four men who got involved in a street fight in Kabul, Afghanistan, on Sept. 21, 2021. The Taliban are promising a return of some of their harsh punishments that made them notorious.

Senior Taliban officials and U.S. representatives are to hold weekend talks about containing extremist groups in Afghanistan, and easing evacuations of foreign citizens and Afghans from the country.
