Pakistan Jeopardizing Peace Talks, Alleges Abdullah

Afghanistan’s main opposition leader Abdullah Abdullah expressed scepticism over peace talks with the Taliban, alleging Pakistan of not being sincere.
“The Taliban are not ready to enter talks. They think that they have the upper hand militarily. And also, it is against their ideology, against their core existence to enter talks or to envisage to be part of a democratic system, Abdullah told a foreign news agency. Abdullah said that NATO’s major military offensive could push some of Taliban foot soldiers towards talks, but Pakistan was jeopardising the initiative. “The continuation of support from Pakistan for the Taliban that is one key element that is one constant factor which has not changed yet. That is important if they think that they do not have that support any more. Then, of course that will affect the resolve of many, many people among the Taliban movement.”
