According to analysts, the Taliban are responsible for the cancellation of the peace conference

Security analysts in Pakistan are accusing the Afghan Taliban of invading, sabotaging talks with the United States, despite agreeing to reduce violence in principle.

      AFP reported that US President Donald Trump announced Saturday (September 7th) that he had canceled a secret conference at Camp David, a presidential resting place near Washington, in which  Separate talks were to be held with the Afghan government and the Taliban.

       In a tweet, Trump said, "In the knowledge of almost everyone, prominent Taliban leaders and the president of Afghanistan, separately, secretly met me at Camp David on Sunday".

     Trump referred to the bombing in Kabul on Thursday (September 5), which killed an American soldier and a Romanian service member, saying, "Unfortunately,  To make the situation a lie in his own interest, he claimed responsibility for the attack in Kabul in which one of our great soldiers and 11 others were killed. "

      The bombing was the latest major attack claimed by the Taliban, even as they negotiated with US Special Representative Zalmay Khalilzad for Afghan reinstatement in Afghanistan, about the withdrawal of US forces.  Were.

     The US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told CNN Sunday (September 8th) that the Taliban, in principle, could, among other things, have direct talks with Afghan leaders, reduce violence and ties with al-Qaeda.  Had agreed to break.

       "If we cannot meet these conditions ... then we cannot reach an agreement," he said.
 He said that when the Taliban tried to launch a terrorist attack inside the country to gain the upper hand in the negotiations, President Trump made the right decision.  "It didn't hurt that the Taliban were rewarded for their bad behavior."

Lifting hopes for peace

"It's no surprise for US President Donald Trump to cancel a September 7 meeting with senior Taliban leaders at Camp David," said Mahmood Shah, a security analyst from Peshawar.  Should be because the Taliban want to govern with power. "

 Shah, who, in South Waziristan, as a former Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) Secretary of Defense, assisted with the Pakistani Taliban in April 2004, the first peace treaty (suspicion agreement), said  The Afghan Taliban cannot be trusted because they have breached peace agreements in the past.

 The complaint deal failed two months later because the Pakistani Taliban refused to give up the violence.

Based on his experience, Shah said, "Even in the past, militants have broken deals because they prefer violence over peace. They gain strength from violence."

"It is wrong to expect Taliban militants to end the decades-long war because they have been trained to use guns and bombs, and their tactics have no place for peace," he said.

Lt. Gen. (Ret.) Talat Masood, a senior security analyst based in Islamabad, said: "The Taliban have stolen hopes of peace as they were bombing Afghanistan while negotiating with the United States.  Compelled President Trump to cancel the talks ".

 "It is disappointing that the outcome of the long-awaited peace talks has been thwarted," he said. "We had hoped that the Taliban would end terrorism and take the path of peace."  They didn't do that. "

     "The Taliban are notorious for setting up their own government, killing students, women, and children," said Khadim Hussain, a senior security and political analyst based in Peshawar.  At the same time, such strategies are adopted in Afghanistan. "

 "The Muslim Ummah should request the Taliban to end the violence and resume talks," Hussein said.

 Maulana Jalal Shah, an Imam from Peshawar, said that the Taliban repeatedly violated their commitments, causing profanity for Muslims worldwide.

 "As a Muslim, you have to follow the agreements made with the opposition because respecting the treaties is one of the basic elements of Islam," he told the Taliban.

 "However, the militants will continue to kill their own people, contrary to the teachings of Islam," he said.

 Imam Shah said religious scholars from all walks of life have opposed suicide attacks and issued fatwas against them, but the Taliban continue to kill such casualties and civilians.
