One of the recent founders of the Taliban have been released from prison in Pakistan in a report from the Taliban. This comes after reported talks of US officials and Taliban representatives met in Qatar to begin peace talks. The release of a such influential leader of a terrorist organization is quite striking and should have been reconsidered. This is important to notice in the international relations community because now it is giving the Taliban more of its leaders back to push for more of a following. This being said if there is talks with the Taliban for peace it will come as an image of trying to negotiate a peace treaty with a terrorist organization that represent oppression. This can also cause more conflict in the region of Afghanistan and many leaders involved in this conflict could receive more strain over the emergence of fighting due to a new key leader being introduced back into the organization. It is key for us to see that the release of Mullah Baradar can cause negative impacts in a region already in turmoil.
