Peace Agreement Requires Strong Guarantor

Wednesday, April 10, 2019

Kabul (BNA) Any agreement can be put in practice only when there is strong guarantor for implementing it.
BNA political affairs analyst commenting on the issue writes while peace negotiation between US and Taliban advancing well, finally Islamic Republic of Afghanistan will also join the process. However, our people due to distrusts to Taliban’s words and action not believe and trust this group.
There had been mistrust to Taliban since long time ago, because this group has not considered responsible against any international standards and treaty.
Taliban when dominated over Kabul in 1996, against all internationally accepted criteria and not observing the safety of diplomats residing inside the headquarters of UN in Kabul interred the headquarters and assassinated Dr. Najibullah the former president of the country.  In Balkh they killed all staff of Iranian consulate staff that had diplomatic safety.
When they ruled over the destiny of people, the cared no to any treaty or resolution of United Nations Organization and this caused, Afghanistan became isolated in international arena.
Now, the people are talking about negotiation and making peace with Taliban, due to their heinous deeds, the people express concern that how this group will perform their obligations just signing a peace agreement.
The concerned further increased when the involved countries in Afghanistan problem, are just moving toward achieving their own interests, while Afghan people representing the whole world have given numerous sacrifices in war against terrorism. Therefore, the end of peace should not be treated as a political game in the country.
Although, peace process negotiations between US and Taliban is developing but the Afghan people have no trust on them too much.
From Afghan people view point, the process is ambiguous and same cases are questionable. Afghan people strongly believe that Taliban are mostly affected by Pakistan policy and deeds. While Pakistan in performing its commitments and obligations against the countries of the region is mistrusted country.
The Afghan people have seen tripartite negotiation among Afghanistan, turkey and Pakistan, among Afghanistan, England and Pakistan and among Afghanistan, China and Pakistan, unfortunately not affected too much in political and security situation of the country, because there were no any guarantors for executing Pakistan’s promises.
Peace for Afghan people has high value. Afghan government welcomes any step taken for restoring peace in the country.  For guarantying any possible peace agreement there should be a valid guarantor, for this reason the Afghan president office considers EU guarantee effective from the implementation of any agreement.
