The Taliban insisted it will not discuss domestic issues until the two sides have agreed on the “full withdrawal” of foreign forces and on how to prevent other armed groups from using Afghanistan to do harm abroad. The inspector general’s report noted risks to human rights and women’s rights that would come after a possible deal.

The report came at a time of ongoing Taliban attacks across the country and record-high civilian casualties of 3,800 last year. Despite the violence, the report said U.S. military officials had informed the watchdog group that they no longer track the level of government or Taliban control in all 400 Afghan districts.

Afghan officials publicly welcomed the start of a sixth round of U.S.-Taliban talks Wednesday, and the Taliban statement, emailed to the media, noted that Zalmay Khalilzad, the U.S. special peace envoy, had met Wednesday with Abdul Ghani Baradar, a co-founder of the Taliban and the head of its political office.

Afghan Leader Hosts Peace-Plan AssemblyAfghan President Ashraf Ghani convened a rare assembly of prominent Afghans to hammer out an approach to peace talks with the Taliban, the latest attempt by the U.S.-backed government to insert itself into the peace process. Neither he is a national leader, nor this govt a legal one.. Its a puppet setup placed by US Taliban should get destroyed They are terrorism and they shouldn't have any role in the leadership of Afghanistan It is illegitimate Grand Consultative Jirga which has been boycotted by all Presidential Candidates less Ashraf Ghani. So much so that present CEO Abdullah Abdullah has also boycotted this Fake Drill. Outcome of this Jirga will remain illegitimate.
