On Sunday, tribal elders from ten provinces gathered in Kandahar city where they called on the warring factions to end the war and endorse peace talks.
Kandahar police chief general Abdul Raziq on Sunday said that certain countries in the region do not want to see the Afghan government and the Taliban engage in talks to end the ongoing turmoil in the country.
Raziq claimed that some of the Taliban leaders are willing to endorse peace talks but were taken hostage along with their families, adding that the Taliban has also realized the war is not the solution.
“Over the past thirteen years, neighboring countires have provided all our resources to the Taliban, but when the Taliban said that we are going for peace, they were put into jails and the fate of their families and sons remain unclear,” said Raziq.
