US urges Taliban to speak with Kabul first if they want peace talks
2018-02-23
[DAWN] The United States urged the Taliban
...the Pashtun equivalent of men...
on Tuesday to speak with the Afghan government first if they want to hold peace talks with Washington.

"We have seen the Taliban statement. We will know the Taliban are serious about peaceful dialogue when they are willing to speak with the elected government of Afghanistan and end their brutal campaign of violence," a State Department spokesperson told Dawn.

In an unexpected statement earlier this week, the Taliban reached out to the American people asking them to pressure President Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
and "war-mongering" congressmen to end the near 17-year-old "occupation."

The Afghan government, however, rejected the Taliban overture for peace insisting that the Death Eater group needs to show its sincerity to peace by ceasing its attacks first.

The Taliban, who have influence over nearly half the country, launched a series of deadly attacks in Kabul in last month that killed and maimed hundreds.

Now, if they didn't do that violence, they would be Islamic Apostates
