KABUL - Outraged Afghans questioned on Sunday the point of negotiations with the Taliban aimed at getting U.S. troops to leave and ending the war, after 63 people were killed in a suicide bomb attack on a wedding reception in the capital, Kabul.
“Peace with whom? With those who bomb our weddings, schools, universities, offices and houses?” Twitter user Rada Akba wrote on the social media platform. Islamic State militants also operate in Afghanistan and have carried out bloody attacks in towns and cities, some against Shi’ites.“Who else is capable of carrying out such brutality?” she asked.Tawab Ghorzang, an adviser at the ministry of transport, said negotiations with the Taliban gave them legitimacy.
The government has not been involved in the negotiations - the Taliban refuse to talk to administration they see as a U.S. puppet - but the militants are expected to make a commitment to open power-sharing talks and agree to a ceasefire.Tabish Forugh, an Afghan journalist, also questioned the Taliban denial of responsibility for the Saturday’s blast.
