Taliban Reach Out To American Public Directly, Want To End War & Maintain Peace In Afghanistan

Taliban has been one of the toughest terror organisations in the world. However, it now wants to talk ‘peace’.

In a rambling nearly 3,000-word letter issued Wednesday, the Taliban urged the “American people” to press their government to withdraw from Afghanistan, reminding them that the Afghan war is the longest conflict in which they have been embroiled — and at a cost of “trillions of dollars.” The letter was addressed to “the American people, officials of independent non-governmental organizations and the peace loving Congressmen.”

It repeated the Taliban’s longstanding offer of direct talks with Washington, which the United States has repeatedly refused, saying peace negotiations should be between the Taliban and the Afghan government. The letter promised a more inclusive regime, education and rights for all, including women. However, it seemed to rule out power-sharing, saying they had the right to form a government, reported AP.
