Sami welcomes US talks offer to Afghan Taliban
[DAWN] Jamaat Ulema-e-Islam...the political wing of the Pak Taliban... i-S chief Maulana Samiul Haq ...  the Godfather of the Taliban,leader of his own faction of the JUI. Known as Mullah Sandwichfor his habit of having two young boys at a time... on Wednesday welcomed a US offer of direct talks with the Afghan Taliban ...Arabic for students... In a statement issued here, the JUI-S chief termed the US peace overture as pragmatic. He said talks were the only way to restore peace in the country and seek an honourable exit for Washington from there as well. He said the US should not hesitate to acknowledge the fact that the Taliban were the most formidable political and military reality of the country. He said the world would also welcome resumption of talks between the US and Taliban. However, there is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened... he warned that forces inimical to the peace and vested interests won’t let peace overtures to succeed as their survival rested on the continuing bloodshed in the country. Mr Sami also demanded removal of important Taliban leaders’ names from the most wanted list. Posted by: Fred 2018-07-20 |
