‘Afghan Taliban not serious about peace’

The Taliban in Afghanistan have not yet shown any sign that they are serious about ending their 17-year insurgency despite U.S. efforts to push for a fresh peace process, the country’s de facto Prime minister has said.Abdullah Abdullah, who serves as “chief executive” of the unity government in Kabul, struck a far more sceptical tone about the prospects of a deal than his political rival, President Ashraf Ghani, and his Western counterparts.Mr. Ghani said earlier this month that it was “not a question of if, but when” an agreement would be reached with the Taliban, while the U.S. envoy to the country even raised the possibility of a breakthrough before the presidential election in April.
