What is the solution today? Shall we ask the delegation to return and tell them (delegates) your presence [in Doha] is no longer necessary because you have not reached a conclusion,\u201d Abdullah said.

R. McMaster also believes that the US-Taliban deal has put Afghanistan in a bad situation. McMaster stated that Iran and Pakistan at least should not play a destructive role in the Afghan peace process and \u201cUAE, Saudi Arabia even China should not continue support to the Taliban.\u201d This comes as First Vice President, Amrullah Saleh, in the same meeting stated that the Afghan government did not recognize the US-Taliban deal which was signed late in February in Doha. \u201cWe did not welcome the deal. We did not approve of the deal. We just said that we noted the Doha deal. The deal will be imposed on us if we used a strong term,\u201d said Saleh. \u201c None of the Taliban commanders know about the Doha deal. They (Taliban commander) say that they are ordered to increase violence and attack cities,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(ATN News): Abdullah Abdullah, Head of the High Council for National Reconciliation said Friday that no progress has been made in the Doha intra-Afghan talks.
