[The fake Taliban are a product of CIA/ISI connivance, being utilized by a China/US plot to forge a quasi-peace in northern Afghanistan, where the long-stalled TAPI pipeline is allegedly going to be constructed. China is hoping to deliver the bastardized TAPI love-child where Qatar failed. The newly rejuvenated Taliban is a merger of some Afghan factions with the Fazlullah faction of TTP (who had been chased out of Pakistan by Pak Army).

News Analysis: Afghanistan hails Pakistan’s help in restarting peace process
by Muhammad Tahir
ISLAMABAD, Oct. 13 (Xinhua) — Afghanistan has hailed the remarks made by Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif that he would exert efforts in bringing back the Afghan Taliban to the negotiating table.
Afghanistan’s Chief Executive Abdullah Abdullah suggested that Sharif should accompany his remarks with trust-building measures.
“It is good news that Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has announced his readiness to encourage and bring the Taliban back to the negotiating table or facilitating the peace process,” Abdullah told a meeting of the Council of Ministers in Kabul on Monday.
Abdullah also wanted Islamabad’s help in ending the “capability ” of the Taliban in launching major attacks against the Afghan government and people.
The Pakistan-brokered talks between the representatives of the Afghan government and the Taliban were postponed in late July after the Afghan spy agency revealed the death of the Taliban supreme leader Mullah Muhammad Omar.
The Taliban had requested the postponement of the announcement since they were still in the midst of a transition after Omar’s death.
Sharif’s offer to work for the resumption of the Afghan peace process shows that Islamabad is aware that the continued instability in Afghanistan will have a direct impact on Pakistan.
The series of violent attacks in Afghanistan by the Taliban have also affected Afghanistan’s bilateral relations with Pakistan, which is a big challenge for the leadership’s earlier commitment to maintain a good neighborly relationship.
Although Pakistani officials have insisted that they do not have control over the Afghan Taliban, many Afghan leaders still believed that Islamabad has a big influence over the Taliban and can encourage the Taliban leaders to restart the intra-Afghan peace dialogue.
One Pakistani official, on condition of anonymity, said the peace process can be fast-track if the Afghan government itself comes forward with its own strategy on how to go about the peace dialogue.
The official said the Afghan government must also be more transparent and should specify the role that Pakistan and other major countries should play in facilitating the stalled talks.
According to the official, Afghan leaders should be aware that there are some groups who are out to derail the peace negotiations.
“These detractors with vested interests would keep on trying to sow dissension between Pakistan and Afghanistan and this has complicated the whole process,” the official said.
Afghan leaders are right to call for trust with Pakistan, which is a fundamental requirement to push the peace negotiation forward.
Abdullah’s comments reflect the current mood in Kabul, indicating that the Afghan unity government of which Abdullah is a major player continues to recognize the important role of Pakistan in the forging of a permanent peace in Afghanistan.
Afghan leaders had hailed Pakistan after the Taliban agreed for the first time in 14 years to sit face-to-face with the representatives of Afghan government in the scenic Pakistani city of Murree on July 7.
The direct talks were also important as the process had the backing of the (TTP Pakistani, a.k.a., ISIS in Afghanistan) Taliban‘s powerful Rehbari Shura of the Leadership Council.
Afghanistan’s deputy foreign minister, Hekmat Khalil Karzai, a senior member of the government negotiating team had admitted that they had discussions with “real” Taliban representatives when he spoke at a post-talks news conference in Kabul on July 8.
But internal rift within the Taliban over the election of the new leader Mullah Akhtar Mansoor had a negative impact on the peace process.
It is widely believed in Pakistani that Mansoor has ” strengthened” his control over the militant group. Allegiance by the son and brother of Mullah Omar after their initial refusal gave a major boost to Mansoor, who is seen now in a comfortable position to take key decisions including the Taliban’s readiness to restart the peace talks.
The Taliban leadership has said that it was Mansoor who had sent his three senior leaders for the first round of the ice- breaking talks with the Afghan government on July 7.
Mansoor was the acting Taliban chief when the group held initial talks with Kabul.
Another important development is that Mansoor is also in full control of the Taliban political office in Qatar. The former head of the Taliban Qatar office, Sayed Tayyeb Agha, had earlier distanced his team from the Pakistan-brokered talks.
