Taliban and the US should also consider the Kabul regime as a chief partner in peace talks

PESHAWAR: Awami National Party Chairman Asfandyar Wali Khan has said that neglecting Kabul government will fail the Doha peace process. Speaking after the central executive committee meeting of ANP the central president of the party said the US is taking all stakeholders into confidence on the peace process in Afghanistan, but ignoring its main partner in Afghanistan, such policies would not deliver the required results of sustainable peace. “We urge the peace brokers to make Kabul regime part of decision making regarding Afghanistan, otherwise they will put in to process bloodshed in the making,” he said. Both the sides, Taliban and the US should also consider the Kabul regime as the main partner in peace talks otherwise there will not be a sustainable peace in the region,” Asfandyar Wali said.
