Taliban In Qatar
Senior leaders of the Afghan Taliban have been stationed in Doha, Qatar, since the early 2010s.

After the Taliban office building opened in 2013, peace negotiations were suspended following objections by the Afghan government that the office was being presented as the embassy of a government in exile.
