Dialogue only solution for peace, stability in Afghanistan: Analysts
February 15, 2018

Lt Gen Retired Talat Masood, Defence Analyst:

“The statement from Afghan Taliban in which they have offered dialogue to U.S for resolution of Afghan issue is very commendable. However, the issue is not so simple to resolve easily.  It has become clear to all stakeholders in Afghanistan that war is not solution of the issue. The dialogue will only be fruitful in the case when  the United States would be serious  in holding talks for the resolution of Afghan issue”

 

Abdulla Gull , Defence Analyst:

“ The United States itself has admitted its defeat in Afghanistan, and now it feels that dialogue is the only solution of issue. U.S has lost war in Afghanistan and seems not serious to spend more dollars in Afghanistan.  In 2017, U.S had announced to send 8400 troops in Afghanistan, which have not been sent so far. Afghan Taliban are reality, they occupy more than 70 percent area in Afghanistan. The world  including the U.S. have come to realization that only dialogue is the solution of Afghan issue but not war.”
