The Taliban and delegates appointed by Afghanistan's government have opened much-anticipated negotiations for the first time aimed at ending decades of war.
His nuclear diplomacy with North Korea finished for the moment, Secretary of State Michael R.
Among the government-appointed negotiators are four women, who have vowed to preserve women’s rights in any power-sharing deal with the hard-line Taliban. This includes the right to work, education and participation in political life, all denied to women when the Taliban ruled Afghanistan for five years.
At the opening ceremonies, there was sign of changes in some of the Taliban’s attitudes. Several Taliban representatives jostled to take photographs of leader Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar as he addressed the ceremony. Photography was banned during the Taliban rule as being against Islam. Both sides will be “peace heroes” if negotiations bring about a lasting peace that protects Afghanistan’s independence and leads to a system based on Islamic principles that preserves the rights of all people, Abdullah said.
