Delegation representing Gulbuddin Hekmatyar arrives in Kabul for talks
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] A delegation of Hezb-e-Islami party arrived in Kabul...the capital of Afghanistan. Home to continuous fighting from 1992 to 1996 between the forces of would-be strongman and Pak ISI/Jamaat-e-Islami sock puppet Gulbuddin Hekmayar and the Northern Alliance, a period which won Hek the title Most Evil Man in the Worldand didn't do much for the reputations of the Northern Alliance guys either.... today to hold talks with the Afghan High Peace Council, nearly a week after the group announced to participate in reconciliation process. In a brief presser, the delegation told news hounds that Hezb-e-Islami party is keen to resolve issues with the Afghan government through peaceful negotiations. The delegation also called on other myrmidon groups to join talks and grinding of the peace processor with the Afghan government. The Hezb-e-Islami party led by the notorious warlord  Gulbuddin Hekmatyar... who used to be known in intelligence circles as The Most Evil Man in the Worldbut who now seems merely run-of-the-mill evil... announced Sunday that the group is prepared to participate in peace talks with the Afghan government. The party in a statement said they are prepared to participate in the peace talks in a bid to show to the nation that Hezb-e-Islami wants peace. The statement further added Hezb-e-Islami party condemns the inclusion of the group’s two members in the list of Specially Designated Global Terrorists (SDGTs) by the United States, saying the move by the US government comes amid calls by the Afghan government to start reconciliation process. The visit by Hezb-e-Islami delegation to Kabul for peace talks comes as the Taliban group has rejected to participate in the talks. The Afghan government was expecting to start face to face talks with the Taliban group at the first week of this month following the conclusion of the Quadrilateral Coordination Group (QCG) meeting last month where calls were made for direct talks.
