Just Afghan-Owned Peace Negotiations Leads to Peace

Wednesday February 27, 2019

Kabul (BNA) The fifth round of negotiation between the representatives of US and Taliban has started in Doha.
There is hope that this round of talks to go ahead with a clear and implacable agenda and the negotiation be started between Afghans as soon as possible.
BNA political affairs analyst commenting on the issue writes the fifth round of talks between the representatives of US and Taliban has started in Doha the capital of Qatar.
This round of negation due to the presence of Mullah Abdul Ghani Broder an important member of Taliban would be a little different from the previous ones.
Mullah Abdul Ghani Broder is one of the members of Taliban’s leadership who has been in Pakistani prisons for nine years for his interest for peace and reconciliation between Afghans.
His photos while torturing by Pakistani intelligence service agents widely demonstrate on media. This indicates that he knows better than any other people about the tyrannical and inhumane actions of ISI agents and will not let Pakistan to use the situation for its own benefit anymore.
In spite of this, western media have reported that Taliban will continue the new round of negotiations with the same agenda this is withdrawal of foreign force from Afghanistan. While American side insists that the issue of ensuring peace would be discussed in general and specific matters that require technical discussions would be discussed in direct talks between Taliban and Afghan government.
What have been said is reported by media but the fact is this that talks between the representatives of US and Taliban has taken place behind closed doors, including media no any other agency had not access to it. Therefore nobody knew about the issues discussed and the decisions made in the talks.
The leadership of Islamic Republic of Afghanistan strongly believe that Taliban have no any agenda and say that they only insist on withdrawal of foreign forces and omitting the names of their leaders from UN black list. While for ensuring peace and ending crisis in Afghanistan should pay attention to more acute issues, the most important of which is building trust among the sides involved in conflict.
On the other hand there is no only Taliban fighting against the people and government of Afghanistan, IS and drug traffickers are also the main forces that disturb peace and stability in the country. If we reach an agreement with Taliban what should we do with these illegal and terrorist groups? While Afghan president insists that Afghan government only agree to ensuring honorable and persistent peace and stability in the country. A peace that cannot meet the desires and demands of people is not the way of settling the problems. So the peace required in this situation in only possible through holding direct talks between Afghans. Therefore the Afghans ask the involved Afghans in the conflict spare nothing for achieving this humane goal.
If Taliban are really Afghans and think according to national interests, instead preferring holding talks with foreigners, reject them and hold direct talks with their own compatriots, ensuring peace in the country end the suffering of people forever.
