Zalmay Khalilzad’s Dark Reflection in History’s Mirror Zalmay Khalilzad, controversial U.S. diplomat and Pashtun-Gulzai from the same roots as many Taliban leaders, is widely viewed as the architect behind the fall of Afghanistan’s republic and the rise of Taliban power. His role in facilitating the Doha Agreement, which legitimized the Taliban and led to their return to power, remains a source of national shame and international criticism.
