FARAKHABAR: Taliban’s New Remarks on Peace Discussed

Some members of the Taliban’s negotiating team have said that the intra-Afghan talks will be "easier" for them than their talks with the United States, which continued for 18 months and concluded with a signed deal on Feb. 29.

The Afghan government and the Taliban are expected to attend the intra-Afghan negotiations by March 10, according to the terms of the US-Taliban deal, which says up to 5,000 Taliban prisoners should be released from government custody by the same date.

Amir Khan Motaqi, a Taliban negotiator, who appeared with other members of the group in a video report by nunn.asia – a pro-Taliban website--said he is almost sure that an agreement will be achieved by the intra-Afghan talks.

“We will reach a conclusion with Afghans in a better way – of course with Afghans who consider other Afghans’ interests and do not consider foreigners' interests,” Mottaqi said.

Another senior member of the group, Anas Haqqani, who was released from Bagram prison last November, called the release of 5,000 Taliban prisoners important but criticized “uncertainty” around the formation of the negotiating team from Kabul.
