After decades of war and conflict of understand finally has a shot at peace. This is a former of the minister whose governments been fighting the taliban and here is the cofounder of the taliban still a potent fighting force once on enemies they sit in the same room facing each other for the 1st time since the start of the nearly 2 decades long afghan war follows a fruit we want all the people of afghanistan to be reunited under one roof again after more than 42 years of upheavals aggressions jihad and resistance all the negatives we all know what happened to us throughout these years and where we stand today we now need to address this unique opportunity to move towards a new future that we can defy together it took months to initiate the interest of gun dialogue the taliban insisted on the release of 5000 prisoners before talks could begin and in turn released 1000 Afghan Government detainees. Air patrol really we have acted accordingly to all the points outlined in the previous agreement and we are requesting the other side to act accordingly to those things that have been agreed to so we can have this process without any problems ahead we want of understand to be an independent developed country and it should have a form of islamic system where all its citizens see themselves reflected. In february the Us Government agreed to pull out its troops from afghanistan provided the taliban guarantee to halt attacks against the u. S. And its allies as the end of the longest running u. S. War nears leaders want to remind allies they will not be left behind each of you i hope you will look inside your heart. Each of you carry a great responsibility. But no know that youre not. The entire world wants you to succeed and if counting are you succeeding since the u. S. Agreement was signed in february thousands of people have been killed in fighting between Taliban Forces and the Afghan Government major issues such as the talibans insistence on an Islamic Emirate and position on the rights of women and the constitution need to be resolved if the road to achieve intra of dawn dialogue was hard getting results out of it is going to be even harder both the Afghan Government delegation as well as the delegation being led by the taliban need to make compromises both sides agree that they are willing to make those compromises the weeks and days ahead are going to determine whether its going to be successful some of. The. Well of course the role of women in afghanistan is getting a lot of attention right now and it has changed markedly since the overthrow of the taliban in 2001 change is happening across all sectors of society of the 21. 00 members of the Afghan Government delegation 4 of them a women women now make up 21 percent of the labor force in the country they make up 28 percent of the afghan legislative body thats greater than the global average and the u. S. And slightly lower than the u. K. And about 3 and a half 1000000 girls are enrolled in schools up from virtually 0 in 2001 but women and girls are still targeted in attacks 24 people mothers nurses and babies were killed in an attack on a kabul Maternity Hospital in may and 1 of the afghan delegation in doha right now for koofi survived an assassination attempt just last month well the u. N. Secretary general antonio tara says that its critical that afghan women are represented in these talks an inclusive Peace Process in which women uses victims of a few very meaningful be presented offers the best hope of a sustainable solution. Back these massive baths to ensure that women put it in a variety of lawyers and that the Peace Process reflects the experiences and the expertise of afghan women in all their very versity so im now joined via skype by milan Via Executive director of the Georgetown University institute for women peace and security in the United States shes a former u. S. Ambassador for global womens issues and a signatory as well to a recent letter calling for more participation by afghan women in these talks so can i start by asking obviously its well its taken a great deal of work just to get to this to the point of negotiations between the Afghan Government and the taliban how crucial a moment is this or could this be for women in afghanistan. Well its an extremely crucial moment indeed and weve heard in the set up about this moment its been a real journey to get here fraught with difficulty but after 40 years of conflict it presents a very 1st time major opportunity for peace but that opportunity could be squandered and the great fear is that in squandering get the rights of women that have taken so long to be achieved and protected will be pushed back will be erased all of those gains and they are absolutely critical to the future of afghanistan so yes its a womens issue but its also an issue about future stability peace safety and prosperity for afghanistan and thats whats at stake and thats why so many officials former officials have weighed in at this moment is that going to be enough to see the womens rights safeguarded in the framework of any potential agreement and that the that we wont see or of us all of the gains for womens rights in the past 1819 years. Oh i dont think anybody has any illusions that weighing in is going to be enough but it is important to say to the negotiators that the rights of afghan citizens including women that are guaranteed in the constitution need to be part of any agreement that is achieved and that any future for International Assistance which is going to be absolutely critical needs to be conditioned on those rights being protected for men and women as well as having some sort of mechanism monitoring mechanism that will ensure that Going Forward should there be an agreement that these rights indeed will be protected because so much about the future of afghanistan is dependent on that occurring. When you look at whats been happening in the country in recent years of course the taliban has continued to gain ground regardless of whether we see womens rights in shrines in any potential agreement should it occur all we know already seeing an erosion of those rights who are talking about violence against women women being targeted assassination attempts and then of course a member of the delegation thats in doha right now fauzia koofi having surviving at an attempt on her life. Its been very very difficult and the violence as you just pointed out has continued the women have borne so much of that violence over the last many many years but they have also enjoyed considerable gains and those were. Noted in the setup of this section of the news there are so many of them today in the parliament and in the government and Civil Society doing yeomans work they are in school they are University Graduates in the rural areas they are overseeing resolution of disputes their work is essential and yes there has been a great deal of violence but but their rights are still there and they are working in that way to the extent that its been possible and so so much depends on that being preserved and protected and you know its sort of interesting that here we are in the 25th anniversary of the 4th u. N. World conference on women that took place in beijing and a platform for action was adopted by all of the countries over 180. 00 countries by consensus that was about ensuring womens right to education to health care to economic participation to political participation to be free from violence to enjoy legal rights those very very fundamental protections and those are at stake for afghan women and this is a really critical moment as you say the right to education as basic as they get and crucial want to thank you very much Melanne Verveer for sharing your thoughts on the story with us appreciate it thank you very much.

For nearly 3 quarters of a century World Leaders have gathered at the United Nations headquarters each year for a highly visible and often contentious debate this year in the midst of the covert 19 pandemic the session will be mostly remote but the few possible know were the exception. And joining us from new york for our special coverage of the 75th United Nations general assembly. On aljazeera. Welcome back a look at our main story this hour Afghan Government go shake in the taliban have started historic talks in an attempt and decades of war key issues will be safe safeguarding a permanent cease fire at the rights of women and minorities and how taliban fighters will be disarmed. Our other top stories dozens of women have been arrested in the better russian capital minsk thousands of people who turned out for demonstrations on saturday activists are demanding the release of detained opposition figures. And mollys military and political groups have agreed on a plan for the countrys future after last months could an interim president will be chosen by a college established by the gentles leaders and that will oversee the transition to civilian rule. So that more now on our top story talks taking place in doha between a go she says from the Afghan Government and the taliban are the Government Team is led by the former foreign minister Abdullah Abdullah he spoke to our program talked to al jazeera and said he is hopeful the talks will eventually lead to peace. If there is one listen out of the recent history of honest sun recent past 2 for dickys thats that there is no military solution and our hope is that both sides have recognized this the right message to send that this is stage will be late the message to the in this conference that we want we have different views we have different version for their country but we want to make peace with one there that in order to help our own people and also look at the suffering of the people look at the losses of the people look at the pain that the people of of. Tolerating referred to the numbers in the past few months only since the signing of the agreement with you between the taliban in the United States which was. Which was the main fundamental reason. That the 2 Current Situation that we were talking to and that that is still there when i when i am talking about the number of casualties its high on both sides its not just one side in to be billeted to. 2 to coup their wounds of the people to recover will be sign of strength not to inflict casualties on our people so im now joined via skype by William Patey a former u. K. Ambassador to afghanistan so obviously a note of optimism there from but i mean how do you see these talks unfolding because what is immediately striking is that there doesnt appear to be any clear sequencing all or structure of the negotiations. Well i think. I was cautiously optimistic but also understands that this has been a Long Time Coming its over 10 years in the making when i was in afghanistan the the prospect of talks with the taliban were on offer but the taliban seem to think that they could regain power through military means by coming to the negotiations they have accepted but that is not possible and thats at least a 1st step but theres a long way to go is not the point though is that the reason theyve come to the negotiating table now is because theyre in a much stronger position than the government well over the last decade there have been you know different times when the taliban were weak the government was stronger if every side thinks that they can force the will of the other there will be no there will be no peace i think after 40 years of war hopefully all sites are going to start have come to the same conclusion that normal prevail through military means the government of afghanistan the people are going to stand except that the taliban have a role to play in in the future of our going to stand it is to have peace but that cant be an adult minute rule to the exclusion of everyone else might they seek to cultivate good well at the start of these negotiations by at least agreeing to a more permanent ceasefire which the Afghan Government has been calling for but the taliban is so far rejected. Well i think a ceasefire is lol would you not going to start and if theres to be. The best atmosphere for the peace talks then a cease fire is the way to achieve thats what most most negotiations civil wars have been involved in a feud done and elsewhere you youve been into the fighting talk that the talks can get serious but you know it will be a test of how serious the taliban are if theyre willing to agree a cease fire and this is not just a tactical move to see if they can get the american troops to withdraw and strengthen the talibans position theres a long way to go im hopeful but skeptical. I know you say that youre hopeful but so far and in recent years weve seen continued violence and seizure and control of territory by the taliban thats given them leverage now thats part of the reason that theyre now willing to engage in talks but i mean i suppose a very unlikely to agree on a permanent cease fire because. From that perspective it makes more sense to simply continue with conflict until they get everything they want. Well whether its permanent or temporary permanent cease fires come with was an agreement and both parties have signed up and want to implement the agreement said you know an interim ceasefire would be a good start. I dont think were going to see the Design Movement of the taliban until theres an agreement and thats when you get into a permanent cease fire when the government of afghanistan has a monopoly on force or we dont the lord but the Pakistan Government seems to be engaged and theyre important and putting pressure on the taliban my worry is that the americans are in too much of a hurry and want to quick results before the elections in november i dont think thats a toll likely. To be important to maintain the negotiations not to be too to fret full of progress is not made immediately but that the talks continue as a proper structure to the talks and the both sides commit to the seriously thank you very much William Patey former u. K. Ambassador to afghanistan thank you for taking the time on the news hour a pleasure.
