Democratic president ial candidate the vital boost it needed to. A deal signed between the u. S. And the Afghan Taliban that may have already hit him and he just stumbling block is going to stones president ghani says the government did not commit to releasing 5000 taliban prisoners and it cannot be a precondition for talks with the group a prisoner swap was part of the accord signed in qatar on saturday the agreement is meant to pave the way for the withdrawal of all american and nato troops from afghanistan and a long lasting peace. Is live for us in kabul hotter less than 24 hours since this u. S. Taliban deal was into are we already seeing a possible barrier to the intra afghan talks. Well i think we see what were seeing now is actually all the problems that existed before this ceremony and that are coming up to the front again today just as 24 hours ago less than 24 hours ago afghan president i 70 was standing with the u. S. Secretary of defense mark spear and an aide to secretary general and he was actually praising what was unfolding in doha well this morning he sort of clarified his position as you said he said you know do 5000 prisoners that are not held by the americans they have by the afghans and have the Afghan Government did not commit to dad and its not going to happen before it in traffic and dogs it cannot be a precondition for that and then he went further to say well if the taliban want to be part of the government they should speak to the Afghan People and maybe the Afghan People should have a referendum to figure out whether they want that or not so yes you do see difficulties. Coming ahead i think everybody would agree on the fact that ironically to deal with between the taliban and the u. S. As difficult as that my have been is probably the easiest part in trying to bring peace to this country not least given the political divisions there and kabul what is the mood there though in kabul the day after this deal was signed town to harm. Well you have that cautious mood i think people were quite bewildered to see on their screens the taliban shaking hands with senior american officials being praised by the International Community that is an image that actually surprised shocked certain people and also cause a little bit of d i would say a mix of trepidation and anxiety in the sense that you know afghanistan by and large has been kept out of this whole process the government and the people their opinion didnt really matter and you know when it comes to the taliban theres some very bad memories its been not only a brutal 18 years but a lot of people have were born or lived as young people under the taliban rule and they dont have very good memory of that so certainly there is an element of fear but also at the same time people are tired of war tired of poverty tired of unemployment so they are kind of willing to give it a chance if that indeed will lead to a jury of both peace even though many fear that if the u. S. Troops indeed fully withdraw within the next 14 months you could have another civil war because at the end of the day many of the people who are part of the government today were in tangled in bitter fighting with the taliban prior to 2001 so it is a very complicated situation and afghans are just hoping but not daring to hope too much like that thats what i need their life from kabul.
