Afghan rivals to meet in China after US talks stall
|
[DAWN] China is organising talks among Afghanistan's rival factions as part of efforts to end years of war after negotiations between the Taliban

and the United States on the withdrawal of US forces broke down.
China, which shares a short border with Afghanistan, has been trying to encourage peace efforts and last month a Taliban delegation visited Beijing for talks with government officials.
"China has invited a delegation [...] to participate in the intra-Afghan dialogue," a Taliban front man, Suhail Shaheen, said in a post on Twitter late on Tuesday.
The so-called intra-Afghan dialogue is aimed at reconciliation between Afghanistan's warring parties and has been running parallel to the talks between the forces of Evil and the United States.
Last month, US President Donald Trump

halted the talks with the Taliban aimed at striking a deal for US and other foreign troops to withdraw in exchange for Taliban security guarantees, after the gunnies carried out a kaboom in Kabul that killed 12 people, including a US soldier.
The United States has been hoping that its deal with the Taliban would pave the way for a ceasefire and power-sharing talks between the Afghan government and the krazed killers.
The Taliban have refused to talk to the government, denouncing it a US puppet, but government officials have taken part in the intra-Afghan dialogue as private citizens.
Shaheen said the talks in China would be held on that basis.
"All participants will be attending the meeting in their personal capacity and they will share their personal opinions for solving the Afghan issue," he said.
He did not give a date for the talks and officials at China's embassy in Kabul were not available for comment.
The Afghan government was aware of China's plan to host talks but it could not comment at this stage, said deputy foreign minister, Idress Zaman.
