As the peace efforts are ongoing despite an increasing violence across the country, Acting Minister of Foreign Affairs Salahuddin Rabbani said the legal system of Afghanistan has defined certain limits for engaging into peace talks and national reconciliation process, suggesting caution when it comes to the negotiations with the Taliban who refuse to stop violence and engage in intra-Afghan dialogue, Tolo News reports on May 9.
The US and the Taliban’s talks are ongoing in Doha, Qatar for more than a week but reports indicate that the two sides have not reached an agreement on the four key issues under debate which are foreign forces withdrawal, counterterrorism assurances, a ceasefire and intra-Afghan talks. Rabbani said the Afghan government will not negotiate on some principles such as respect and protection of human rights in the peace process with the Taliban.
