[Khaama (Afghanistan)] The leader of Hezb-e-Islami Gulbuddin Hekmatyar

group, and the foreigners, including Washington.

Hekmatyar made informed regarding the presentation of his party’s recommendatins regarding the grinding of the peace processor as he was speaking during a gathering in Nangarhar
The unfortunate Afghan province located adjacent to Mohmand, Kurram, and Khyber Agencies. The capital is Jalalabad. The province was the fief of Younus Khalis after the Soviets departed and one of his sons is the current provincial Taliban commander. Nangarhar is Haqqani country..
on Monday.

Without disclosing further information regarding his party’s recommendations, Hekmatyar said he expects to receive a feedback from the concerned parties within a week or two.

This comes as Hekmatyar had earlier suggested autonomy for the Taliban group in a bid to help reach to a peace agreement between the Afghan government and the Taliban group.

In an interview with the New York Times

...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize...

, Hekmatyar had said his participation in Afghan politics showed the Taliban that they, too, could wield influence after laying down their weapons.

The leader of Hezb-e-Islami further added that he had already begun establishing himself as an intermediary and was in regular contact with the Taliban’s supreme leader, Mawlawi Haibatullah Akhundzada

According to the Times, Hekmatyar is promoting a reconciliation with the Taliban that would grant local autonomy to the bully boy group in certain regions, or peace provinces. He called these regions "secure areas" that would remain part of Afghanistan, even as Afghan Army troops withdrew from them.

"It would be very effective," he said, adding that in his discussions with the Afghan president, Mr. Ghani had been supportive.
