Afghanistan

Pakistan 'key to peace with Taliban'

2010-10-13

[Iran Press TV] The Pak prime minister says efforts by the Afghan government to make peace with the Taliban would fail without the assistance of the government in Islamabad.

"We'll make sure of it," he added. "Very, very sure."

Speaking to news hounds on Tuesday, Pak Premier Yousuf Raza Gilani highlighted the role of Islamabad as part of the solution.

"Nothing can be done without us because we are part of the solution, we are not part of the problem," Gilani said in comments broadcast on Pak television networks.

His remarks come several days after Kabul announced that talks were being held with the bully boyz for quite some time.

Earlier in the week, Afghanistan's former President Burhanuddin Rabbani was elected chairman of a new peace council which has been set up to negotiate with the Taliban.

The High Peace Council seeks to open dialogue with the bully boyz who have been fighting to bring down the Afghan government since 2001.

#4 Look closely at his eyebrows and it's plain they're dyed or oiled. (White roots)

Dyed, all of it,is my vote. He forgot to get his eyebrows over the nose -- eyebrows don't take dye at all well. Also not the lighter tone where it's receded on his right/our left. It doesn't match the glorious hair combed over from the part on the other side, in either colour or texture.
