Inconsistent with the expectations of the Afghan people and the international community, the Taliban group has escalated violence since it inked an agreement with the United States on late February, the presidential spokesman, Sediq Sediqqi, said.
The ramp up in group’s attacks could jeopardize the Afghan peace process, he reiterated.
The war-torn nation and the global community’s demand from the Taliban is to stop violence and declare a ceasefire—a demand the group has yet to accept.
Government and Taliban negotiators have been meeting in Doha since September 12 and are still working out on procedures and related issues for the intra-Afghan talks aimed at ending Afghanistan’s longest war.
The long-awaited intra-Afghan talks aimed at ending nearly two decades of war in Afghanistan. They were first scheduled to begin on March 10, but were repeatedly delayed due to the disagreements over the controversial prisoner swap process.
