Taliban militants killed at least 26 members of a pro-government militia in north Afghanistan on Saturday, officials said, as the Islamists and U.S. negotiators were set to begin a seventh round of peace talks in Qatar, APA reports citing Reuters.
One US official said the meeting was a “make-or-break moment” in efforts to end the 18-year-old war.
The talks will be led by Zalmay Khalilzad, the US peace envoy for Afghanistan, who has held six rounds of talks with the Taliban in Doha since October.
The efforts to find peace have so far not lessened the fighting between the Taliban and government forces.
