Qatar playing to be leader of the Islamic world

In Afghanistan is taking place these days. The Taliban militias have taken control the country, including the capital Kabul, without practically fighting. despite years of training and military supplies from the United States, has come undone without putting up a semblance of resistance. The Taliban themselves described their rapid success as “unexpected.”

From all this, Qatar has clear ideas on what to do. By taking power in Afghanistan, the small Gulf state intends to override its neighbors and lead the coming decisions of the Arab world. The role of the Qatari government is not limited to organizing talks between the various actors involved in Afghanistan.

Doha has officially requested a ceasefire from the Taliban leadership. Following the fall of Kabul, Qatari Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani met with a Taliban delegation to discuss the future political structure of the country.

Qatar’s pushing its regional politics. In the early days of the Arab spring. They took power in elections in Tunisia and Egypt and formed powerful militias in Libya and Syria.

And acting as a mediator between the US and its local allies on the one hand and their historical adversaries, Doha believes that it will find its own precise and irreplaceable strategic location. That would give Qatari leadership guarantees regarding its power.
