Its good to have you with us the conflict in afghanistan has been going on for nearly 2 decades and ask him to tens of thousands of people but its hoped u. S. Backed talks between the Afghan Government and the taliban in qatar could lead to a Peace Agreement afghanistans chief negotiator. Is currently in pakistan a country also seen as crucial when it comes to securing a deal because of its influence from the taliban and its strategic interest in its neighbor well have more on islamabads role in a moment. But 1st a quick look back of the conflict that has brought untold misery to the people of afghanistan. They are faces of the innocent victims of afghanistans long running conflict there have been tens of thousands more in fact and surviving family members want them to be remembered by those negotiating for peace in their country some simply because they are so desperate. They actually had never i would only forgive my sons killing if i could witness a lasting peace in the country. There shouldnt be any more war no conflicts so that our people can work and earn a living well maybe a lot of the will and all the people of afghanistan who have suffered from the war in the country want an end to this current conflict. Negotiations between tele band insurgents and the Afghan Government opened in Early September in cutter after months of talks between the taliban and the us just grit sides desperate to curb the killings a massive undertaking to Jennifer Aniston you know by the hour we want afghanistan to be an independent united and developed country and it should have an islamic system. In which all tribes and ethnicities of the country. Who find themselves without any discrimination. And live their lives in love and brotherhood i put out them in the outset are you one were pretty i. Love and brotherhood in a country that in recent decades has witnessed so much bloodshed. And the threat of violence remains an ever present backdrop to the negotiations. Both sides posturing but keenly aware that more innocents will lose their lives more families will grieve if negotiators come up empty. And just to remind our viewers that afghanistans top negotiator is currently in pakistan seeking its support for the ongoing talks in the door for more on that im joined now by the shows Sharmila Shams Sharma good to see you what is pakistans role in the afghan Peace Process. But says it is. Not just. Dialogue which is happening in the long. Run also facility the u. S. Dollar. Just on believes that that deal which the u. S. And the taliban signed in salary would not have been possible without without explicit literature and. So got into the government it is a Facilitation Group it will receive a solicitation stoners not doing it for that you were just on this not doing it for kabul august i was doing it for except. As a strategic as a. Defense and political interests. Which are quite complex but it is a fact and you must admit that the u. S. Dollar bond would not have been possible because of a stance of. The bought some about spain at the moment in. Talks is also important you spoke about pakistani self interest what is pakistans interest in the afghan Peace Process. Well pakistan wants to have a friendly government in pakistan was one of the very few countries in the 99. Accepted the taliban regime recognized supported it in 9096. 00 but then the u. S. Invasion of afghanistan happened in 2001 so the pakistani establishment clearly a pox on the army believes that it lost that kind of influence on afghanistan after the taliban regime dismantled in 2001 we saw that role of india and increase in students of. India an increase of 2001 which the Pakistani Military did not like much irrespective of that stock believes that if they have a regime. Which is most of older more understanding of its interests will have backers humans in the region so that is exactly. From the Peace Process box on wants to have a regino the future Political Center thats of interest in afghanistan and. You spoke about exerting influence in afghanistan im having a friendly government potentially counters indian influence i mean the United States and the Afghan Government have accused pakistan of giving the taliban a safe haven and its a point that you and you did to as well talking about the recognition that the taliban government had received in the early ninetys from pakistan is baathist on using the taliban potentially as a bargaining chip in these peace negotiations. I dont think that Boston Government stuff especially the military when we talk about on the fierce all Foreign Policy is to talk about the military not. Which at the moment. I believe that box on does not have that kind of influence over the top it will extend the calendar 9090. 00 days but it still has considerable influence on the dollar. Definitely hasnt resulted allat on to an extent and it wants to use. Influence. To get the maximum of the peace talks so on is a very good thats why you see a lot look im going to focus on the authorities because of the knows that it. Is not possible the peace talks will not work. So well leave it there for the time being without you so much for speaking to us.

Shooks ryan is a writer on indian politics and society and a professor at the university in sweden he joins me now on the line francis when welcome one of the worlds most respected human Rights Organizations shutting its operations in the Worlds Largest democracy how concerned should we be. I think it is for the wall to be dealing on sunday a lot but this is nothing new that i have been a game of. Stopping the lawyers sort of stopping the dissent. For a long time particularly since not in them when they came to power in 2048 that have been petty as international. Organizations are those who have been operating in india and they have been done to the problem and also a number of local organizing indian organizations and activities and they are also causing trouble in the they are all were getting any sources from abroad so i think this is not new but this is what are the happening now is the duke will when they are stopped all amnesty has been of course still stuck all its operation that is really scary they have been in the government to corrupt. Pressure at least for the last 2 years but this has gone and we are quite took quite. Well but its not just under the names or more the government is it i mean i missed his finances well question in the past in 2009 as well when the Congress Government was at the center i suppose the question is why is it funding and interest to do with its finances repeatedly under the sky now. Im misting gets some support from outside but also put that have been a number of indian donors those who have provided funding but i think the one thing is its about always the idea as you said in 2009 also on this that came out of the scanner but peta has been sometimes that have been attempts before to stop these voices of dissent in india but what i said what are the happen now it has been. Kind of vetting the organizers to way of this sort of stopping that dissent whatever the war posthorses had come from and that have been one of the i dont point the polls and are going to get a sense its not only im that stupid that are going to pose a follow up last n. G. O. S are stops been stopped receiving money from abroad im nestea has been kind of far more a to get this kind of help or pull cost out then some because of its International Type your and or so its it has been brought out a number of resource particularly in the last 2 months though it brought out that importer in august 51 cost me and then i think august 20th 28th on their daily riots and i think immediately after a back to the government quite strictly and stuck on what they were the accounts they had but before that they had all still ill try to get there and even some of the people from india those who have gone to because 100000 contributions are people those who have contributed to india and even some of the smaller. One to put us on have been on top of the. Government. Tax alternatives attack so this attack on Amnesty International if you can call it that that home endures image abroad. In the hybrid was a reporter with the International Liver is or International Law or premium interpret because it is a democratic and secular character and i think that has been. Under attack for the period of for some us not only them and some particularly since 2014 but i think at the internationally different beat the muscle media or media. Putting it that this is this is whats been happening in india and i think about going against the mystique stopping at all of all or nothing all uppercase operations will be im not the be some to this kind of india losing its democratic character for us were never there for the timing but thanks so much for joining us professor a hoax line.
