Khalilzad Hails ‘Excellent Progress” In Peace Talks With Taliban

U.S. peace envoy Zalmay Khalilzad says he will leave Qatar for India on August 5 following three days of talks with the Taliban to end the nearly 18-year war in Afghanistan.

Khalilzad tweeted that the eighth round of talks between U.S. and Taliban negotiators in the Qatari capital, Doha, “focused on the remaining issues in completing a potential deal with the Taliban that would allow for a conditions-based troop withdrawal.”

“We have made excellent progress,” he wrote.

The U.S. envoy said in a separate tweet that he will travel to New Delhi later in the day for “pre-scheduled meetings to further build international consensus” in support of the Afghan peace process.

Khalilzad also said that his team will continue to discuss with Taliban representatives “technical details as well as steps and mechanisms required for a [successful] implementation of the four-part agreement” the sides have been working toward since his appointment last year.

A bilateral U.S.-Taliban agreement would cover the withdrawal of foreign forces from Afghanistan in exchange for guarantees by the Taliban not to harbor terrorist groups.

Such a deal would be followed by intra-Afghan peace negotiations on a political settlement and a permanent cease-fire.

The Taliban has said it will only negotiate with the Western-backed Kabul government when Washington commits to withdrawing its troops.

    By the same token; when
    the
    Englishman conquered, colonized and enslaved India, they began teaching some level
    of
    English language skills
    to
    certain category local Indians in an order to use them in their vastly-expanded and
    tightly-controlled administrative affairs; especially,
    after
    the
    “Sepoy Mutiny”
    of
    1857.

    The funny part is that, they are still
    hiring and using those types
    of
    characters,
    (Indian writers), under
    fake Islamic names,
    to
    distort facts and spread out
    mostly
    maliciously-false infos
    about
    the
    history and cultures
    of
    Great Afghanistan.

    The prime examples of those
    distortions
    are
    easily found
    across layers
    of
    the
    Wikipedia- you
    can check them all out !

    *Regular Indians
    are
    nice people; just like
    the rest
    of
    the common folks
    across
    Sub-Continent. Even then, once an while in real life, you do stumble across some
    bad apples- it is alright; after all, you would not be able to
    change the
    essence, feel and the taste
    of
    the real
    market place; called,
    (BAZ-ZAHR”) !

    *See,
    how they assume brand
    new Islamic
    names :
    ============
    “Kamal Mohammad”;
    likewise,
    the
    interior minister of India; calling himself:
    “Amit Shah”.

    What ever you may
    call
    it;
    “funny and/or pretentious” !

    before you be able
    to
    expect and
    gain it from others !
