The meeting between the Contact Groups of the Afghanistan Government and the Taliban in Doha have been stalled for the past two days, reports Tolo News on September 25. The meetings were aimed at reaching an agreement about the procedural rules intended to guide the formal talks. The Taliban demands recognition of the US-Taliban agreement as the 'mother deal' underlying the Afghan peace negotiations, and Hanafi Fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence) as the sole legal guidelines for the talks. The Government has proposed that if a religious issue arises it can be solved based on Hanafi Fiqh by default, however, the Shia Personal Status Law must be respected, and the choice of religious jurisprudence should be given to other minority groups as well.
