The Taliban should call a one-month ceasefire to prove they still control their forces, Afghanistan's national security advisor says
Afghanistan's National Security Advisor Hamdullah Mohib speaks during a news conference in Kabul, Afghanistan October 29, 2019.
"If the Taliban really want peace, they should prove how much control they have over their commanders and how much they really obey their commands," Mohib said at a press conference. The insurgents have repeatedly rebuffed previous calls for a ceasefire, but last year they downed weapons for a historic, three-day truce.
The US invasion had followed Washington's refusal of an offer by Afghanistan's then ruling Taliban group to try Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden under Islamic law, saying he must be handed over to the United States. Zalmay Khalilzad, the US special envoy leading talks for Washington, has since spoken informally with Taliban officials in Pakistan, raising the possibility Washington seeks to resume dialogue.
