Taliban Sees Afghan Govt As Main Hurdle for Peace
|
[ToloNews] A key negotiator of the Taliban
 ...the Pashtun equivalent of men...
on Friday said that President Ashraf Ghani
...former chancellor of Kabul University, now president of Afghanistan. Before returning to Afghanistan in 2002 he was a scholar of political science and anthropology. He worked at the World Bank working on international development assistance. As Finance Minister of Afghanistan between July 2002 and December 2004, he led Afghanistan's attempted economic recovery until the Karzais stole all the money...
’s government in Kabul is the "only hurdle" for the Afghan grinding of the peace processor, blaming President Ghani for prolonging the process and not willing to hand power to another government for the sake of peace.
"Only hurdle...besides our proclivity for Islamic Evil"
Addressing news hounds in Moscow, Stanekzai, whose presser was aired by Sputnik, said the Taliban should not be expected to lay down their arms as long as the international troops remain in the country.
"You witnessed that Mr. Ashraf Ghani made different statements... Even in one of his statements, he said that if a future government is established, he should be the leader, the president," Stanekzai said. "You can see that they are lobbying NATO
...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. A cautionary tale of cost-benefit analysis....
and the US to prolong their government."
"Ashraf Ghani’s administration is the only hurled for peace... One of their insincerity is that their (Afghan Republic’s negotiating) team has not been given full authority for talks," Stanekzai added, reiterating that the Taliban’s negotiating team has the authority to make decagons on the table of negotiations about peace-related matters.
In response to their trip to Moscow as well as to other countries in the region, Stanekzai said their aim is to use the regional countries’ leverage on the Biden administration to push for the implementation of the US-Taliban agreement—signed in Doha on February 29, 2020.
"We hope so because these countries are very close to us, they are our neighbors, they are involved in Afghan matters. That’s why we’re talking to them, we share their concern and we seek their support for the grinding of the peace processor in Afghanistan," he said.
Regarding an increase in assassinations in Kabul, Stanekzai said that the government in Kabul is responsible for the security and that the "operations that take place in Kabul, especially the assassinations."
Stanekzai said that the Taliban remains committed to the implementation of the US-Taliban agreement and that their team is in contact with the United States team "regularly" in this respect.
"The reviewing of the agreement is their internal matter... We hope that Americans should go according to this peace treaty which was signed in Doha. It’s a good chance for Americans... it is in their favor," he said.
This comes a day after the Pentagon said Thursday that the Biden administration would not commit to a full drawdown of US troops from Afghanistan by May because the Taliban have not honored the commitments they made in their agreement with the United States signed in Doha last year in February.
