This week, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) announced that they have visited Afghan government security forces held by the Taliban in Badghis province. This is the first time ICRC has been able to meet the Taliban’s prisoners. ICRC hopes the success of the visit (and their ability to keep the details confidential) will make other groups more open to ICRC visits.
