The Afghan-to-Afghan talks were scheduled to start on Friday in Qatar, where the Taliban maintain an office, but were scuttled after a falling out over who should attend.
The announcement itself was just a show of strength since the Taliban have kept up relentless near-daily attacks even during the harsh winter months, inflicting staggering losses on the embattled Afghan military and security forces. Many civilians also loss their lives in the cross-fire. Kabul, which had been sidelined for months from U.S-Taliban talks because the insurgents refuse to talk directly with government officials, had offered a massive delegation of 250 participants, including prominent Afghan figures, government and opposition representatives, as well as others. The Qatari hosts came back with what they said was a revised acceptable list that drastically reduced the number of women and eliminated all government ministers from the list.
According to a prominent figure on the Kabul list for talks in Qatar, who spoke on condition of anonymity as he was not authorized to talk to the media, several senior participants on the list had received a call from the presidents office warning them they should not express personal opinions at the talks with the Taliban, only speak on behalf of the state.
How long have we been occupying, I mean liberating Afghanistan ? They still have all those poppy fields? I mean are they still looking for Taliban ?
And thus war in the middle east continues. Such a shocker.
Needs investigation. Looks like some of these AMERICAN traitors flying to overseas are now sabotaging all of Président Trump’s Peace efforts all around the world. Why all of a sudden they are all refusing to talk peace. Truth will be out some day. Shame on ALL TRAITORS.
ISIS and Taliban getting old crew back together...that sounds swell.
Gee! Did ya think this might happen? (Sarcasm).
.this whole thing was the quietest ever u turn in US policy. Its a shame but Pompeo should trust the Afghans judgement, they know first hand language culture and have the most to loose. If they need to suspend to make the Taliban reconsider something let them suspend.
Was it a collect call?😎

Taliban team at Afghan peace talks in Qatar to include women: spokesmanWomen will be included for the first time in the Taliban delegation to talks thi... Cool, he says skeptically. How can anyone really tell? A silent pile of rags is gender neutral Actually there probably won't be any women representing the Taliban and even if there is a token brought in for propaganda, that in no way means the Taliban will recognize any of the rights women have gained over the past 18 years. Taliban is like ISIS.

Taliban team at Afghan peace talks in Qatar to include womenFor the first time, women will be included in the Taliban delegation to talks this month with US officials and Afghan representatives in Qatar over the future of Afghanistan, the movement's main spokesman said. Any culture that makes woman dress like this and that has women who are willing to dress like this deserves zero respect from the rest of the world. One step removed from cave man society. But, they will not be speaking. Bring American military home!!!

Talks between Afghan leaders and Taliban canceled, in setback to U.S.-led peace processOrganizers called off the talks amid disputes over the size and composition of the Afghan government’s delegation. We need to just step out. Let them handle their own. US lead a peace process? LMAO What group would want to be involved in talks which include the US? Our government lies to it's own people and calls other countries 'shit holes'. Not exactly actions that engender trust among foes or allies.
