Kabul (BNA) People believe that ensuring sustainable peace in Afghanistan impossible, until safe terrorist hideouts for Taliban exist abroad Afghanistan.
BNA analyst writes, based on reports the second round of peace negotiations between representatives of Taliban and Zalmay Khalilzad U.S. special representative for Afghan peace reconciliation will be resumed in Qatar.
Top U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham during his visit to Afghanistan met with leaders of National Unity Government, his trip and visiting the Afghanistan leaders has close link with negotiations between representatives of Taliban and U.S. in Qatar.
Mohammad Ashraf Ghani President of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan during meeting with Lindsey Graham shared Afghanistan people’s concerns said; “ceasefire and safe terrorist hideouts abroad the country are our people questions that must be answered.” The concerns are not illusion and doubt, these are a bitter fact that exist among people, but the peace representatives never talked about the mentioned concerns in negotiations’ table so far. The issue that we can called the main and basic in peace negotiations.
Anyway, there is no need for explanation, the people of Afghanistan want peace, international society also trying to ensure peace in the country, but ensuring sustainable and dignity peace in Afghanistan is impossible till terrorist safe hideouts exist abroad Afghanistan.
According to reports, Lindsey Graham in separate meetings with Pakistan Prime Minister Omran Khan and Shah Mahmoud Qurishi foreign Minister of the country discussed relations of the two countries, issues of the region and partnership for ending crisis in Afghanistan.
Recently, Lindsey Graham in a televised interview said; “The war in Afghanistan would end in few weeks if Pakistan denied the Taliban safe haven in its territory.” The statement clearly explicit that support of terrorists and existing their hideouts in Pakistan’s soil is the main challenge behind war in Afghanistan.
For this reason, terrorist hideouts as a joint threat for people in Afghanistan and world need serious attention to annihilate the heinous phenomenon from Afghanistan, region and the world.
Therefore, sustainable and dignity peace not only ensure in Afghanistan, but security situation will be improved in the countries of region.
