Kabul (BNA) The National Security Advisor (NSA) Hamdullah Mohib said that Afghan forces are capable enough to eliminate armed oppositions, adding that government will maintain peace by force if intra-Afghan peace negotiations currently underway in Doha fail.
Speaking during a visit to the southern province of Helmand to assess the security situation on Sunday, NSA Mohib told Afghan soldiers that the Afghan security and defense forces have the capability of eliminating the armed opposition.
“Those who do not want, despite government’s willingness to compromise; but they want to fuel insecurity in the country and disturb the people; if it is not achieved via dialogue, we will maintain peace by force,” he added.
Meanwhile, the US Special Representative for Afghanistan Reconciliation Zalmay Khalilzad and Commander of US forces in Afghanistan General Scott Miller on Saturday met with the Taliban delegation in Doha to discuss issues around peace negotiations.
