Home to continuous fighting from 1992 to 1996 between the forces of would-be strongman and Pak ISI/Jamaat-e-Islami sock puppet Gulbuddin Hekmayar and the Northern Alliance, a period which won Hek the title Most Evil Man in the Worldand didn't do much for the reputations of the Northern Alliance guys either.... and the Taliban movement in Afghanistan. Representatives from the three countries, meeting in Moscow on Tuesday, also warned of the growing influence of the ISIS myrmidon group in Afghanistan and agreed to invite the Afghan government to such talks in the future, the Russian Foreign Ministry said. The three countries agreed a "flexible approach to remove certain figures from UN sanctions lists as part of efforts to foster a peaceful dialogue between Kabul and the Taliban movement," ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told news hounds after the meeting.
