(MENAFN- Afghanistan Times) Indeed, there must be an end to the 40th years of war in
Afghanistan that exhausted us all. Many Afghans born in the war, many die, and
the new generation is getting grow in the war. This bad phenomenon must come to
an end and the peace has to be given a chance. Since the talks with US-Taliban
called dead by President Trump, it doesn't mean to stop efforts for achieving
it. Peace is the legal and fundamental rights of the Afghan. Not one but a
thousand chances must be given to accomplish it. The reason behind collapse of
the talks was a result of a journey in the erroneous path. The US must give
more and more chance and restart talks with Taliban as peace is the only
solution to end US's 18-year war. But this time, the Afghans should be part of
the talks in any process in order to be succeeded. Exclusion of the Afghan
leaders was not a good idea. Afghans are ready for resumption of talks as war
give them nothing but to further spread bloods of their loved ones. In the past
four days across Afghanistan, over 90 Afghan civilians were killed and over
hundreds other wounded. In one day 30 civilians were killed in Nangarhar's
airstrike, while in Zabul, Taliban-claimed bombing near a hospital killed at
least 20 people. Death tolls feared. This is the price of war. No Afghans
welcome it, but those who see their interest in bloodshed. This has to be
stopped. No more room left for the Afghans to see their dearest and nearest one
to be killed for undone sin. The children and women have also bearing the brunt
of this brutality. Afghan Foreign Ministry said that peace negotiations likely
to be restarted between the US and Taliban. This is a good omen and the Afghans
welcome it. Any sign of efforts for resumption of peace talks to ultimately
lead to a ceasefire is an absolute astonishing. Colombia is a clear example for
Afghans to not slowdown their peace efforts. They made many attempts getting the
communist rebels into peace negotiation, and finally succeeded. Taliban also be
ashamed of attacking those areas where civilians are the only victim. It is
need of the hour that Afghan government and the Taliban negotiating members
enter to an intra-Afghan talks honestly by disconnecting from foreign backers,
respect our constitution and announce a serious ceasefire. Taliban must stop
violence for reaching peace and the Afghan government must take national
consequences about peace. This ugly war must be ended by any ways and means—but
in a rational way where Afghan sovereignty need to be protected.
