Saudi Arabia in secret negotiations with the Taliban

The Guardian reported about a secret nego­ti­a­tion with the Tal­iban spon­sored by the Saudi Ara­bia. For sure Saudi Ara­bia do not dare to take such step with­out a green light from the Amer­i­cans, and I don’t know if it is related or not but few days ago there is a report about Ban­dar Bin Sul­tan secret visit to Pakistan.

To refresh your mem­ory, a year ago the two British diplo­mats expelled from Afghanistan [ordered by the Amer­i­cans] because they opened a secret nego­ti­a­tion chan­nel with the Taliban.
