Afghan opposition says 'road to peace' is through Pakistan | | Afghan leaders believe the solution to the Afghan endgame and the road to peace in
their country is through
Islamabad . According to two influential Afghan political figures - one heading
the main opposition alliance and the other representing the Afghan High Peace
Council - Pakistan still controls the Taliban. "The Americans can't do it, it
is only Pakistan which can persuade the Taliban and the Haqqanis to come to the
negotiating table," the Express Tribune quoted Ahmed Zia Massoud, who heads the
main opposition alliance called the Afghan National Front (ANF), as saying. Massoud
said efforts to reach out to the Taliban would remain futile unless Pakistan is
part of the process. " Pakistan always plays politics, we know Taliban are still
in their ( Pakistan 's) control," said Maulvi Qayamuddin Kashaf, a senior member
of the Afghan High Peace Council - a forum mandated to hold direct negotiations
with the Taliban. Pakistan is considered crucial to push for a peaceful transition
in post-2014 Afghanistan when most of the U.S.-led international forces leave
the country.
