The Taliban’s spokesman Mohammad Naeem, during an interview in Qatar, said that the group will not agree to a ceasefire unless the Government peace negotiators discuss the main cause of the war in the country, reports Tolo News on September 16. Mohammad Naeem also claimed that the Taliban has reduced the level of violence with the start of the preliminary round of the talks even though the Government has continued offensive operations. It does not make sense to end 20 years of war in one hour. In our perspective, it will be logical to discuss the main aspects of the problems and the war and then finalize a ceasefire so that the problem is resolved permanently,” Mohammad Naeem said.
