celebrator a mood here was overshadowed by a suicide bombing that targeted the celebrations an islamic state so-called i asked has claimed responsibility are they now the biggest threat in afghanistan. so this is this is two parts of the same issue great is that right now taleban and the government during this time of cease fire even before have a common enemy in this so-called islamic state forces because detroit is that you know the taliban don't get along with the us forces and if you speak to people who are in areas that have come under i ask control so they left and come to other places that being they say is the first thing that these quick of course is going to be dying the first thing that they do is they say you know we have to get rid of the taliban and want to get rid of the taliban and the turn against the people so there is definitely a real and miti between the taliban and irish and i think this could also be what leading them to the cease fire possible negotiations seeing that they're no longer alone and they have a real viable threat. that's not only attacking them and trying

the government during this time of cease fire even before had a common enemy in the so-called islamic state forces because detroit is that you know the taliban don't get along with these forces and if you speak to people who are in areas that have come under i ask control so they left and come to other places that they may say is the first thing that these quit of course is going to be dying the first thing that they do is they say you know we have to get rid of the taliban we want to get rid of the taliban in the turn against the people so there is definitely a real and miti between the taliban and irish and i think this could also be what leading them to the cease fire and possible negotiations seeing that they're no longer alone and they have a real viable threat that's not only attacking them and trying to take over that they're sorts of gains well also trying to attack the government journalist in kabul thank you so much for your insights now to a migrant rescue ship that's been a flashpoint in the european debate over migration the aquarius said to be carrying more than six hundred pe
