Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid on July 12 said that calls on the militant group to stop fighting before talks were "illogical", reports 1tvnews.com. In a series of tweets, Mujahid said that fighting continues as they have got no other option yet. Mujahid further said that the process of prisoner release should be completed so that intra-Afghan negotiations could begin. “If one doesn’t want the war to continue, then why they create hurdles on path to negotiations?” Mujahid posted on twitter.
