Kabul:

The Taliban’s working out group has actually shown up in Qatar, a spokesperson stated Saturday, in an indication that long-delayed peace talks with the Afghan federal government are inching closer to beginning.

A date for the talks, to be hosted in Doha, has actually not been set however the warring sides have today made signals that settlements might introduce quickly, consisting of efforts to conclude an extracted detainee exchange.

” All members of our working out group have actually shown up in Doha. The talks will start when some little technical problems are solved,” Taliban representative Suhail Shaheen informed AFP.

The Taliban group had actually just recently remained in Pakistan going over the peace procedure with the federal government in Islamabad.

Qatar authorities have actually been enforcing a 7 day quarantine duration on all arrivals to the nation, however have actually made exemptions for some delegations who go through routine screening.

The Afghan federal government’s working out group stayed in Kabul on Saturday, however a logistics group landed in Doha previously today.

Faraidoon Khawzoon, a spokesperson for the Afghan federal government’s reconciliation council, stated its negotiating group was all set for talks.

” The release of the detainees is finished and there is no reason for postponing the talks,” he tweeted.

” But the Taliban do not appear to be all set for the talks. We anticipate the Taliban to prepare and begin the settlements.”

The talks were at first due to start in March as set out in an offer in between the United States and the Taliban in February, from which Kabul was omitted.

But disputes over continuous violence and the detainee swap have actually seen the start consistently pressed back.
