Taliban-US Discuss Prisoner Exchange in Doha

The Taliban and US representatives have engaged in discussions regarding a potential prisoner exchange, with talks focusing on exchanging two Americans held in Afghanistan for Afghan captives at Guantanamo Bay. This negotiation occurred during a UN-led meeting in Doha, where US envoys pressed for the release of the American prisoners. One of the detainees is Ryan Corbett, a humanitarian worker, whose deteriorating health has raised concerns. The Taliban emphasized the importance of meeting Afghanistan's conditions for the exchange, highlighting the value they place on Afghan detainees in the US. The discussions aim to address the imprisonment of several foreign nationals by the Taliban since their rise to power in 2021.
