(ATN News): Addressing a public gathering in Bamiyan, Khalili stated: \u201cIf the peace process faces a stalemate; we are worried [about what happens] on the other side of the issue; that the war would intensify; the situation would get worse,\u201d he said adding that this is what parties to the process need to keep in mind.\u00a0 Khalili also called on the warring parties to prepare to make sacrifices and concessions in order to achieve and maintain peace in the war-weary country. \u201cIf the peace agreement is not formed in the shadow of justice, a new conflict, a new crisis, and a different conflict will take shape,\u201d he said. He warned that Afghanistan could face a new crisis if \u201ca fair peace agreement is not formed.\u201d He also said the people of Afghanistan, of all ethnicities, and political parties would resist any \u201cimposed\u201d settlement.\u00a0 Khalili told the people: \u201cNo plan, no solution, and no talks will take place without your presence and participation.\u201d He also accused the government of following through on an \u201cethnic elimination policy\u201d which he said could lead to a crisis in the country. \u201cThey follow a policy of ethnic elimination; two of our experts have been forced to resign in just two days. Again, we do not want to be crisis creators. If this crisis were imposed on us, the people would solidly resist against them.\u201d\u00a0 Meanwhile, Khalili called for a referendum over any future political system in Afghanistan, stating \u201cAfghans should vote for the establishment of any future government.\u201d This comes after Washington proposed the establishment of an interim government in its bid to accelerate the peace process.\u00a0 The plan also called for President Ashraf Ghani to step aside. Ghani has in turn stated he will only hand over power to a democratically elected successor.\u00a0 Ghani also spoke out on Monday and said the \u201cinternational community should hand over necessary guarantees for ensuring peace and end of the war.\u201d Ghani said any political decision he makes will be based on the Afghan Constitution. He said the government\u2019s aim is to forge an \u201cindependent, democratic, and united\u201d Afghanistan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
