Taliban
must not raise issues with delegation: Omar
KABUL, Mar 29 (DNA): Afghan Presidential Advisor Waheed Umar
on Sunday
asked the Taliban to introduce their delegation for intra
Afghan talks
and stop making excuses. Addressing reporters here, he said
the
government delegation was inclusive and was introduced.
Wahid Omar at a press conference on Sunday in Kabul responded
to the
Taliban statement about the Afghan peace delegation being
“against the
agreement between the Taliban and the US,” saying the
Taliban must not
raise issues with our delegation, as we also can raise issues
with
theirs.
All the prisoners released at one time would be not possible,
and there
are conditions, Omar said, adding that the delegation that
has been
announced will represent “a united Afghanistan.”
Earlier, the Taliban has refused to negotiate with a team
announced by
the Afghan government, the armed group’s spokesman has said,
in a
potential setback to the next steps in the United
States-brokered peace
process.
