This kind of performance is usually suspended in the winter, but they put on a performance especially for Karzai on December 10, 2014. The news source told Boxun that Karzai received the equivalent of a state leader’s visit, with very strict security and the itinerary kept secret.

There are also rumors that the Taliban leadership visited China in December 2014. If this turns out to be true, it’s possible that the Chinese government is mediating the conflict between the Taliban and the Afghan government.
