KABUL: The US special peace envoy for Afghanistan should stop calling on Taliban militants to lay down their arms and convince the United States to end the use of force instead, the Taliban said on Friday.
Zalmay Khalilzad, an Afghan-born US diplomat, entered a sixth round of talks with the hard-line group in Qatar this week in a bid to end America’s longest war.
“In our opening session, I underscored to the Talibs that the Afghan people, who are their brothers & sisters, want this war to end,” Khalilzad said in a tweet.
