SHAFAQNA PAKISTAN (Shia News Agency)
Afghan President Ashraf Ghani during his visit to Washington made it clear to US that Afghanistan is serious for rapprochement with Taliban. During his speech he appraised that some concerns of Afghan Taliban are genuine and that must be addressed for a peaceful Afghanistan. Afghan President also lambasted US that number of inmates languishing in Afghan Jails and Gitmo are innocent and they falsely tortured. President Ghani referred to Rwanda and South Africa’s truth and reconciliation commission that sought to acknowledge the grievances of the victims of apartheid and allow the accused to accept and atone for their crimes without being punished for them.
Ashraf Ghani’s candid speech shows that not only Afghan Government but Taliban are serious to resolve their issues through talks. It is also worth mentioning that Afghan President called Taliban as political opposition against the word terrorists or insurgents.
Afghan has been devastated by three decades long war, it needs an overhaul and peace must be restored in the country at this juncture of History and regional powers espcieally Pakistan and India must assist Afghanistan for this purpose because until Afghanistan is stable, South Asia will remain destabilized.
