Any
peace process in Afghanistan with the US boots on the ground is
impossible, the Taliban delegates said after a meeting in Moscow,
adding that the current Afghan government is a US puppet stalling the
talks.
“We
will not tolerate a single US soldier in Afghanistan,” said the
head of the Taliban delegation at the international meeting on
Afghanistan in Moscow, Sher Mohammad Abbas Stanikzai, adding that the
insurgent group’s “main goal” is to “put an end”
to the 17-year-long “invasion” led by the US and its
allies.
Still,
Stanikzai said, the militants are ready to negotiate – but only
with Washington, which they see as the real force behind the current
Afghan government.
