(ATN News): Gailani called on both government and the Taliban to take steps consistent with what \u201cthe mighty Allah has said about peace\u201d. Citing the Holy Quran, Gailani said \u201cand peace is good\u201d\u00a0 and that \u201cwe should do good for the people.\u201d \u201cWe are both Afghan and Muslim and it is the Afghans and Muslims who are suffering on both ends, people who die or get wounded from any of the sides are both Afghan and Muslim. \u201cBrothers, let\u2019s be united, jointly and with understanding and for the sake of Allah, get rid of this sedition and take steps toward peace, which has been favored by Allah,\u201d said Gailani, who is the son of the late politician and respected religious leader Pir Sayed Ahmed Gailani.\u00a0 In reference to negotiations, Gailani suggested a shift in dynamics and said: \u201cBoth sides are plaintiff. In every (traditional) negotiation, religion\/Sharia, national traditions, and international law, there is always a need for a third side in conflict resolution. Therefore, as I see it we have no option for solving the issue other than the formation of an interim administration, in which all sides will have representation and agreed by all, and steps towards peace be taken in light of it.\u201d \u201cThen a national government, according to the wishes of people and with the participation of all sides based on national consensus, be formed so that the seditious war comes to an end.\u201d Gailani is yet another voice calling for an end to the ongoing war \u2013 a war that has lasted for almost 40 years and one which the majority of stakeholders, including foreign partners and neighboring countries agree that there is no military solution.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
