KABUL: Political opposition in Afghanistan opposed Ashraf Ghanis’s decision to include Pakistan in peace talks with the Taliban, TheNewsTribe.com learnt from DawnNews.
“For 10 years we went through Islamabad and it didn’t work. Pakistan will never give up its asset, which is most of the Taliban,” Daudzai said. “They are playing games.”
Instead he says, a small group of Afghans, acceptable to both sides, could start contacts leading ultimately to face-to-face meetings. “But it would be Afghan-brokered,” he said.
Daudzai’s criticism comes as Chief of Army Staff General Raheel Sharif meets with Afghan President Ashraf Ghani during a day-long visit to Kabul, where the two are expected to discuss reconciliation between the Afghan government and Taliban, as well as instituting a border-management mechanism.
