On October 20, the leader of the Hizb-e-Islami (HeI) party, Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, at an press conference said that the United States has been "defeated in Afghanistan," adding that Washington has "no choice except to leave the country," reports Tolo News. HeI supremo Gulbuddin Hekmatyar made this remark in Islamabad. “Current talks in Doha are between the team of Arg (Presidential Palace) and the Taliban. These talks are not intra-Afghan talks, because there is no presence of many Afghan political parties in these talks, we are not there. There is a need for consensus first so that we can go towards talks with a unified idea,” said Gulbuddin Hekmatyar.

The UN mission to Afghanistan (UNAMA) report released on October 27, said that the overall civilian casualty figure for the first nine months of 2020 dropped by around 30 per cent compared to the same period in 2019, but while the number of civilian casualties is lowest in the first nine months of any year since 2012, “the harm done to civilians remains inordinate and shocking”, reports Tolo News. UNAMA documented that Anti-Government Elements (AGEs) remain responsible for the majority of civilian casualties (58 per cent). Compared to the same period in 2019, the amount of civilian deaths attributed to AGEs remained at similar levels, although there was a decrease. The report said that the number of civilians killed attributed to the Taliban increased by six per cent in the first nine months of 2020, adding that the overall number of civilian casualties, killed and injured, attributed to the Taliban dropped by 32 per cent, mainly due to a reduction in the number of civilians injured by suicide attacks and ground engagements, though this was partially offset by an increased number of civilian casualties from targeted killings and illegal, indiscriminate pressure-plate Improvised Explosives Devices (IEDs).

The US Special Representative for Afghanistan Reconciliation Zalmay Khalilzad on October 28, met with senior Taliban members in Doha (Qatar) including the group’s ‘deputy leader’ Abdul Ghani Baradar and the two sides discussed issues around the implementation of US-Taliban peace agreement and the release of remaining prisoners, said Taliban ‘spokesman’ Mohammad Naeem, reports Tolo News. He said they also discussed the termination of the blacklist, the causes of the increase in the level of violence. But, an Afghan government spokesman said that the Taliban’s demand for release of more prisoners has no importance for it. “What the Taliban has said and showed in action have weakened the peace process," Presidential Spokesman Sediq Sediqqi said. "The continuation of violence and expressing strange statements and even raising the issue of prisoners itself creates barriers for peace." The Afghan Government has released 5,600 Taliban prisoners as part of conditions ahead of the peace negotiations.

The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) in its annual Global Impunity Index has put Afghanistan in the fifth row among 12 countries where journalists are singled out for murder and their killers go free, Tolo News reports on October 31. The CPJ in a report states that despite a reduction in violence against journalists in countries like Afghanistan, Somalia, Iraq, Syria and South Sudan, the cases of murders of journalists have not been investigated. “CPJ’s annual Global Impunity Index, which spotlights countries where journalists are singled out for murder and their killers go free, showed little change from a year earlier. Somalia, Syria, Iraq, and South Sudan occupy the worst four spots on the list, in that order, as war and political instability perpetuate the cycle of violence and lawlessness,” the report said. The Attorney General’s Office said that it has investigated 19 cases of violence and murder of journalists in Afghanistan over the past two years.

The Afghan Government on October 31, said that it released over 6,000 Taliban prisoners for peace with the hope that violence is reduced and a ceasefire is announced, but the Taliban acted against the government's "goodwill gesture", defied its commitments and increased attacks on Afghans. “The Taliban did not stop this unjustified war against its own people. The group instead has increased the war.
