Prisoner exchange proves the main obstacle in any possible peace process between the Afghan government and Taliban
As the Taliban and the Afghan government prepares to hold peace talks next month, straight after the Muslim holiday of Eid al Adha, the main matter of negotiation is prisoner swap.
According to defence analyst and retired Brig. Ali Khail, the two sides continue to struggle with serious "differences over the mechanism of the prison swap coupled with a deep mistrust between the Taliban and the Afghan government". According to the agreement, the Afghan government, who were excluded from the US-Taliban deal, was supposed to release nearly 5,000 Taliban fighters; some of them are allegedly involved in violent attacks against civilians. The US negotiators had agreed under the condition of the Taliban releasing 1,000 Afghan security forces in return.
Another reason given were the continuous Taliban attacks that violated the spirit of the US-Taliban agreement.
