Taliban Who Want Peace Face Threats: Faizi
[TOLOnews] - Taliban who are willing to negotiate with the Afghan government are facing serious threats from other Taliban, Afghanistan's Presidential front man Aimal Faizi said Wednesday.Most Taliban capos who have talked about negotiating with the Afghan government have either been tossed in the calaboose Keep yer hands where we can see 'em, if yez please! or killed, President Hamid Maybe I'll join the TalibanKarzai ... A former Baltimore restaurateur, now 12th and current President of Afghanistan, displacing the legitimate president Rabbani in December 2004. He was installed as the dominant political figure after the removal of the Taliban regime in late 2001 in a vain attempt to put a Pashtunface on the successor state to the Taliban. After the 2004 presidential election, he was declared president regardless of what the actual vote count was. He won a second, even more dubious, five-year-term after the 2009 presidential election. His grip on reality has been slipping steadily since around 2007, probably from heavy drug use... 's front man told TOLOnews. "Unfortunately, those Taliban capos who have had contact with the Afghan government are faced with detention or killed by other Taliban members," Faizi said. He reiterated the government line that the only way to bring peace and stability in Afghanistan involved negotiation with the armed Islamic fascisti and the government is committed to continue with this despite major challenges. Faizi said the Afghan government supported the release of the Taliban detainees held at the US military prison in Guantanamo Bay. "The position of Afghan government has always been clear in this regard - we want the release of our citizens held at the Guantanamo Bay Detention center," he said. "The final decision should be made by the US Congress but, as far as I am aware, they haven't made their decision yet." The Taliban officially denies having ever been in talks with the Afghan government, and in March suspended all negotiations with the US government. But rumours of talks between some Taliban capos and the Afghan government have persisted. Meanwhile, ...back at the pool hall, Peoria Slim had found another sucker... Afghanistan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced Sunday that it is forming a joint commission with Pakistain and the US to protect those Taliban willing to negotiate from the threats of other Taliban or beturbanned goon groups.
