Pakistan not to be asked to mediate in future Afghan peace talks with Taliban

[Captain.x]

Amid frustrations regarding growing insurgency activities plotted by the anti-government armed militant groups based in Pakistan, the office of the Chief Executive Officer announced Monday that Islamabad will not be asked to mediate in future Afghan peace talks.

Javid Faisal, spokesman to CEO Abdullah, told reporters in Kabul that there are no expectations in this regard from Pakistan.
“We do not have any expectations from Pakistan and therefore we will not ask them to mediate between the Afghan government and Taliban group,” Faisal said.
He also insisted that the peace talks will continue in the absence of Pakistan’s mediation if it resumed in the future.
The remarks by Faisal comes as Afghan officials were expecting to sit-in for the second round of peace talks with the Taliban group representatives in Pakistan last month.
However, the process was delayed with the sudden disclosure of the Taliban supreme leader Mullah Mohammad Omar’s death shortly before the second round of talks.
Mullah Omar’s death confirmation led to widening rift among the Taliban leadership which resulted to suspension of peace talks.
In the meantime, a series of deadly attacks rocked capital Kabul earlier this month which left scores of people dead or wounded with the Taliban group claiming responsibility for majority of the attacks.
The deadly attacks resulted into escalating tensions between Kabul and Islamabad after the Afghan officials harshly criticized Pakistan for sheltering the Afghan militants who are plotting attacks in Afghanistan besides they hold open gatherings in Pakistan.

Afghanistan will not survive through this decade. It'll go back to how it was before the 'government' was made.

 

[xyxmt]

Afghanis know the problem and they also know the solution but they wont opt for that solution due to their hate for Pakistan. they would rather run their country down the gutter than listen to Pakistan or accept that Pakistan is their real Daddy and India is step Dad.

We might get lucky and afghan and taliban leadership will bomb each other out

Pakistan should bomb the country to stonage, they arent so fare away anyway .

 

[Kambojaric]

Afghan loss. Unfortunately their inflated sense of pride is and will continue being their biggest weakness. Now expect more violence and an escalation in the civil war.

 

[Stalwart]

sense will prevail when they get beaten up.
