A top Russian diplomat says Russia, the United States, and Afghanistan will hold video consultations to try and jump-start intra-Afghan peace talks.
Zamir Kabulov, who is Russia’s presidential envoy on issues related to Afghanistan and the director of the Russian Foreign Ministry’s second department of Asia, told Russian media on June 10 that the trilateral video talks will be held on June 15.
According to Kabulov, the talks will involve the U.S. special peace envoy for Afghanistan, Zalmay Khalilzad, and Afghanistan’s acting foreign minister, Mohammad Haneef Atmar.
Kabulov’s announcement comes two days after Khalilzad held a new round of talks in Qatar with the political chief of the Taliban movement in Afghanistan, Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar.
In February, the United States and the Taliban signed an agreement aimed at ending the 18-year war — the longest military conflict in U.S. history.
The deal lays out a timetable for the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan in return for security commitments from the Taliban.

RESPONSE
TO
MR
LATIF PEDRAM
==============
I am not going
to
get
into
its fine details,
((there are many other reasons as well that I won’t go over right now))- however; all I can say again, though, that
a
federal system would not
work if you even
forcefully redraw all
the international
demarcation and demographic lines
all around Afghanistan which
would then naturally involve all
of
the surrounding countries as well. They
are not going
to give in to your fancy and
non-workable
ideas.
.
Incidentally; that is what exactly the Englishman was planning to accomplish
in
late 1700’’s
((to be a little more precise, late 1790’s); after the
deaths of
Ahmad Shah Durrani
((1772))
of
Afghanistan
and
Kareem Khan Zand ((1779))
of
Iran.
.
After wresting
control
control and consolidation
of all of
India ((by early 1790’s)); the
Anglo-Czarists military strategists promptly began one
of
the world’s longest; savagest and bloodiest attrition-wars of numerous battles in
the history
of
the
humanity which actually lasted till 1919, in the region when
Amanullah Khan
of
Afghanistan decided
his three pronged
attacks on major British Indian military
forts
across so; called, “Durand-Line”
in
an
order to force the Englishman to recognize
total
international boundaries
and external affairs
of, by then,
much
reduced Afghanistan.
.
.
The Europeans called
the multi-pronged century-plus
Anglo/Russian military
incursions
as,
“THE GREAT GAME”,
((please; check elementary history books)).
In reality
though; it was certain that
the
ANGLO-RUSSIAN EMPIRES were basically
scheming-up and uniting, as
one,
in an order
to
totally divide the region and eliminate any
formidable
short and/ or long term threats
from
((back then powerful)),
Islamic countries. They were also intending
to
dominate the
control of the regional global resources
and their closely-linked
international
commercial
routes.

The one
major point that
I am trying
to
get across is that it took the two powerful global empires over one
hundred years
to
get
Afghanistan borders limits reduced
to its
almost current size- now; I am asking you
goofy heads
weather how long would it take you and with how many losses
of millions more
of
local lives before you would be able
to
accomplish such
a
gigantic and actually impossible
pipe dream.
.
Certainly; you guys
have
no
military/economic
back-up; neither
the
military genius and manpower
to
be able to
accomplish such
an
enormous feat
in
this, specially,
highly-dynamic
world
of
big sharks; heartless megalomaniacs
and
greedy hyaenas
who
are
all already have had been stationed, poised j, waiting
and
lurking
along all the perimeters
of
the killing fields
of
Afghanistan
and
sarcastically making
fun of us
all.

influential Islamic parties;

from
Mr Pedram,
in
