Taliban Denies Talks With Pakistan on Afghan Peace Prospects

Taliban Denies Talks With Pakistan on Afghan Peace Prospects


The Taliban have long refused to hold direct talks with the Afghan government, calling it a “puppet” of the United States.
“We strongly reject [the media reports] because none of our leaders has traveled to Islamabad, nor has he met with any official there,” Zabihullah Mujahid, the insurgency’s main spokesman, told VOA Friday.
But he did not outright deny reports his group may attend a Moscow meeting, if invited.
