Kabul, Sep 27 : Zalmay Khalilzad, the US Special Representative for Afghanistan Reconciliation, has said that the Taliban will not agree to a comprehensive ceasefire until there is a political settlement in place.

And that is not unprecedented in similar conflicts elsewhere, I think they can do a reduction of violence, they have said they will consider it depending on what the proposal is. The government is supportive of it too,” TOLO News reported on Saturday citing Khalilzad as saying in an interview with PBS News Magazine.
Khalilzad said that the US is ready to work with the Afghan government and the Taliban for a reduction in violence.

The question is — can an online meeting really work to deliver solutions?
