One of the countries that is likely to play a key role in the formation of a new government in Afghanistan is its neighbour, Pakistan. A party to the peace negotiations between the Afghan government and the Taliban in Doha, Pakistan has long had an ambiguous relationship with the militants; offering a safe haven to its officials, even as the Taliban's local affiliate has launched renewed attacks on Pakistani soil. 聽 Pakistan's Prime Minister Imran Khan has been quoted as saying that the Afghan people had "thrown off the shackles of slavery". I asked his special assistant, Raoof Hassan, what his country made of the Taliban take over. Photo: Taliban fighters stand guard along a roadside near the Zanbaq Square in Kabul Credit: Getty Images
