This is the second of the five new threads on Afghanistan for 2015 onwards, its focus is Afghan politics (catch all, so includes talking to the Taliban)
There are a number of OEF threads now closed on these themes, too many to link to now. Many revolve around former President Karazai, talking to the Taliban and Afghan society.
I do appreciate that there can be cross-over between the new threads. After my recent reading, albeit focussed on Helmand Province (with its small population) that Afghanistan is far from a simple place and there is much to gain from reading the wisdom gained since 2001.
