The Afghan Government has agreed to release 400 "hard-core" Taliban prisoners, paving the way for peace talks aimed at ending more than 19 years of war.The release of the prisoners was one of the Taliban's conditions for it joining peace talksTalks between the warring Taliban and Government will start in Doha this week, according to Western diplomats
Atefa Tayeb, a council secretary who read out the final declaration at the conclusion, said it was a way to "stop the bloodshed". Last week, Mr Ghani invited some 3,200 Afghan community leaders and politicians to Kabul amid tight security and concerns about the COVID-19 pandemic to advise the Government on whether the prisoners should be freed.Talks between the warring Taliban and Government will start in Doha this week, Western diplomats said.

What a great idea🙃it’s not as if terror extremists have gone away because of COVID19 and BLM... jihadist are just waiting for the right moment.
Yet another devastating deal for U.S. troops. Why leave any troops under these circumstances?
Well that will work out well.
Does anyone recognize that Donald Trump is part of this process? He initiated this peace process. What worries me is if I recognize this it may result in the left trying to stop a peace solution. So many stupid people in this world.
This is the very definition of irony
2020 just keeps on giving
funny people and media have short memories or stupid not to know the real origins of the Taliban and weaponising them. they arose from those US-Saudi-Pakistan-supported mujahideen: 'The West helped the Taliban to fight the Soviet takeover of Afghanistan'
That’ll go well.
It looks like 'The enemy of my enemy is my friend' still hold water for some.
Thats the last 400 of the 5000 they agreed to release in return for 1000 Afghan SF personnel. I hope something good and lasting comes from it.
Uh. Yep. That'll do it 🤷♂️🤦♂️
Here we go again....
I think this can be called self harm...any other descriptors or verbs to describe this act of lunacy...it is like chumming the waters before getting the water with sharks...
They're simply refugees looking for a new home, nothing to see here.
Oh dear 😧
This will end well. 🙄
