(MENAFN- Afghanistan Times) AT News Report
KABUL: The members of parliament in their Monday session
called on the war parties to reach an agreement on the ceasefire and
negotiations. The lawmakers criticized for the intensifying of war in different
provinces, urging that war was not a solution and Taliban should abandon
killing of Afghans by stopping war and starting direct talks with the
government of Afghanistan.
'Peace is an urgent need for the people of Afghanistan, and
we need an immediate truce to gain this goal,' Parliament Speaker, Mir Rahman
Rahmani said, asking both the Taliban and the government to announce an
armistice and face to face peace talks.
'We ask the United States to reconsider cancellation of
peace talks and resume talks with Taliban with preconditions. We also call on
Taliban to agree a ceasefire and direct talks with the government of
Afghanistan,' said another lawmaker, Monawar Shah Bahadori.
Bahadori mentioned that election was not a resolve and those
politicians who insist for election, only seek their own benefits. He warned
that election in the current situation not only doesn't solve problems, but
even cause worse crisis than the previous polls.
The US President, Donald Trump surprisingly stopped
negotiations with Taliban representatives after a suicide attack killed 12
people including an American soldier on September 5 in Kabul.
Trump said that Taliban need to hold talks with the government
of Afghanistan.
The government had earlier said that direct
talks with the Taliban would be held, but war was intensified prior to the
presidential elections planned to be held in less than two weeks.
