Vatican is Negotiating with Taliban, Claims Italian Newspaper

The aim is to open humanitarian corridors to help thousands of Afghan refugees following the withdrawal of US troops

An Italian newspaper has claimed that Pope Francis is negotiating with the Taliban in Afghanistan through Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to defuse the refugee crisis in the Central Asian country.

According to Il Tempo, the aim is to open humanitarian corridors to help thousands of Afghan refugees following the withdrawal of US troops and the return to power of the Sharia-following Taliban.

“A reserved channel has unexpectedly been opened between the Holy See and the Taliban to create a humanitarian corridor,” stated the newspaper.

In the front-page report, the newspaper said the Vatican is holding a three-way negotiation between the Congregation for Eastern Churches, Erdogan and the Taliban regime.

The report went on to claim that the move involving the Congregation for the Eastern Churches has made a breakthrough in opening a dialogue, with Erdogan as an intermediary.

So far, there has been no official confirmation or denial from the Holy See press office regarding the report.

According to the newspaper, the Vatican has better reach than the European Union and North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) to bring the Taliban to the negotiation table and strike a deal on the refugee crisis.

Pope Francis enjoys cordial ties with most Muslim countries. He has made it a point to involve both Muslim factions — Shia and Sunni — and give them equal importance in his papal diplomacy.

Of course Frank is negotiating with the Taliban.

The only people he hates are rigid Catholics.

Of course the Taliban will let the ones leave who will do their bidding in their host countries.

This Pope is going to get a lot of people killed.

I read this several days ago in a Spanish source with Vatican insider info.

Not only is the Vatican “working with” the Taliban, they’re working with Turkey. Bergoglio likes the new radical Muslim Turkish state with its dreams of restoring the Ottoman Empire and taking over Europe. He wasn’t in the least bothered when the Turks turned the Hagia Sophia into a mosque again.

So essentially he’s creating a new corridor for new Muslims to enter Europe, thus furthering Turkey’s project of steady conquest.

After the negotiations Beroglio and Parolin made with the ruthless Red chicomms, I have great cause to worry.

I’m sure negotiating with the Taliban will be just as successful as negotiating with Iran.

Of course Mario is negotiating with the Taliban. He never met a demon he didn’t like. Maybe he’d like to take a ride in his Pope Mobile around the city of Kabul.

When it comes to Afghanistan there is a refusal not only by the media and the so called (in name only) democratic party but by Christian leaders like Pope Francis to approach redressing the Taliban for it being a theocracy following the sharia creed which denies free will and their claim they are authorized by Our Creator to execute non believers.
