The Taliban and resistance forces based in Afghanistan’s northern Panjshir province need to resolve issues through dialogue, former Afghan President Hamid Karzai wrote on Twitter on Friday, APA reports citing TASS.
"I hope that the parties will resolve the current issue through dialogue so that our long-suffering people can enjoy peace and be happy," the tweet reads. Karzai added that war was not a solution because it only brought suffering to the country.
The former president also expressed concern about military activities in Panjshir, saying that they were not in the interest of the country and its people.
Karzai, head of Afghanistan’s High Council for National Reconciliation Abdullah Abdullah and leader of the Islamic Party Gulbuddin Hekmatyar earlier created a coordination council for the peaceful transition of power to the Taliban. The Ariana News TV channel reported earlier that the three politicians would join a council to rule Afghanistan that the Taliban intended to establish. However, no decision was announced.
