A hoped-for peace deal ending the war in Afghanistan will likely remain out
of reach unless
both the United
States and Taliban
put more clear and
consistent offers
on the table, Mohammad
Sadiq, Islamabad’s
ambassador in Kabul
said on June 25,
reports Daily
Times. “We don’t
think all these
issues can be solved
by fighting. There
must be a political
process, but the
parties need to
be serious about
it,” Mohammad Sadiq,
said during an interview
to Reuters.
“There is a lack
of clarity on both
sides,” Sadiq said,
referring to the
US and Taliban negotiating positions. The role of Pakistan, with deep historic ties
to Taliban, will
be pivotal in US
efforts to broker
a peace deal between
the government of
Afghan President
Hamid Karzai and
the terrorist group,
whose leaders are
believed to be based
in Pakistan. |
