Yesterday s friend and today’s enemy; what is Riyadh looking for?

07/08/2017

But, according to the political analysts, such an approach comes from Saudi Arabia since few days, and it has no real basis. According to the political analysts, this is probably due to Washington's pressure on Saudi Arabia and the country is acting to oppose the Taliban.

Ishaq Atmar, a political thinker, said Riyadh is forced to take on Washington's side because it is engaging in difficult rallies in the region. According to him, the financing of the Taliban cannot be denied by Saudi Arabia and other Arab states, and on this basis, such a position is temporary and merely an act.

Hassan Haqyar, another analyst, told Salam Watandar that Saudi Arabia is looking to make U.S. content on the one hand, and on the other hand is making trouble to Qatar. He added that this is not the first time that Riyadh has had such an approach against a group; for this reason, Saudi Arabia has included a number of political currents and movements to its blacklist.

Muhibullah Sharif, another political analyst, believes that the Saudi Arabia's deputy ambassador to Afghanistan’s words are due to Washington's pressure on Riyadh, but says that these statements have a lesser negative impact on the Taliban.

The Saudi embassy opened up against the Taliban funding, which, along with Pakistan, was among the first to recognize the Taliban regime as a sovereign government in 1997.
