Taliban Political Bureau: We want to resolve the Afghan crisis through dialogue.
The deputy head of the Taliban’s political office in Qatar told a meeting with representatives of foreign countries that “our policy on peace has not changed and we continue to emphasize resolving the Afghan crisis through dialogue.”
Abdul Salam Hanafi, deputy head of the Taliban’s political office in Qatar, said in an online meeting with representatives of foreign countries that all Afghans should contribute to Afghanistan’s security and development.
Rumi Hanafi made the remarks during a meeting with representatives of the United States, the European Union, Germany, Britain, France, Norway, the NATO civilian representative and the UN representative.
According to RFE / RL, the online meeting was hosted by Italian Special Representative Jinan Franco Petrozilla and discussed the current situation in Afghanistan, the peace process, the release of Taliban prisoners, the removal of Taliban leaders from the UN blacklist and other issues.
The deputy head of the Taliban’s political bureau said at the meeting that the group’s policy on peace had not changed and that the Taliban wanted to resolve the Afghan crisis through dialogue.
Abdul Salam Hanafi stated that the Taliban remain committed to the world in the field of human rights, education and interaction, and called on the international community to play an active role in rebuilding Afghanistan.
Deputy Ashraf Ghani: The peace process in Afghanistan should not lead to the dissolution and collapse of the Islamic Republic
On the other hand, Mohammad Naeem, a spokesman for the Taliban’s political bureau, said that the Taliban did not want a monopoly of power and that all people should contribute to the peace and prosperity of Afghanistan.
He added that the Taliban would prefer the Afghan issue to be resolved through dialogue. The group has no foreign agenda, does not interfere in anyone’s affairs and does not allow interference in Afghanistan’s internal affairs.
The Afghan government, meanwhile, has repeatedly accused the Taliban of lacking a real commitment to the peace process, stressing that the group is unwilling to resolve the conflict politically.
“If the Taliban are committed to peace, then why not accept a ceasefire,” said Dawakhan Minhapal, head of Afghanistan’s Information and Media Center. They are trying to get the Emirate back to Afghanistan, which is not acceptable to the Afghan people.
