Taliban agrees to a temporary ‘ceasefire’: Sources
[KhaamaPress] A Taliban delegation who had travelled to Pakistan to consult peace terms and conditions with their elders have just returned back to Doha, Qatar, close sources to Taliban said.

An informed source has said that ‘most members’ of the Taliban councils in Pakistan have agreed to a temporary ‘ceasefire’ in Afghanistan.

Taliban have not yet officially announced anything, but Jalaluddin Shinwari, a former member of Taliban regime, believes that eventually the views of the political group and military sections will be coordinated.

“Every decision taken by the leadership is obeyed, based on Sharia. But since a discussion is an Islamic principle, there must be some talks between the political leaders and military commanders of the Taliban,” Shinwari said.

Afghan presidential candidate Abdullah Abdullah who was speaking in ‘death anniversary’ of Abdul Mutalib Big, a prominent Jihadi leader who was killed in a suicide attack 8 years ago, emphasized that every Afghan citizen wants peace and we should use every opportunity that can lead us to ‘peace’.

Abdullah believes that the direct talks between Taliban and different group will help to find a solution in reaching peace.

#1 Must be getting their arses handed to them on the battlefield. Standard North Vietnamese tactic '65-'73.

#4 Perhaps I've been wrong. Could it be we should actually 'stay on' and kill every one of them ?

Wouldn't that be classified as genocide, B?
