Now the taliban says the u. S. Has the most to lose after President Donald Trump cancel the meeting with the group in the United States u. S. Special envoy. Has also been recalled hed been negotiating with the taliban and carter for nearly a year the Afghan Government says peace will only be possible if the taliban stops killing people and holds talks with the countrys leaders tony burke the reports from kabul. President trumps Early Morning tweet canceling the meeting with the taliban surprised many including the Afghan Government but it has actually welcomed the decision the main goal of our piece is is a ceasefire and indicted negotiation with the taliban so these 2 components are very important. The taliban refuses to talk directly with the Afghan Government who she regards as illegitimate and corrupt but it did agree to negotiate with the u. S. These forces invaded afghanistan 18 years ago after the 911 attacks on america there have been 9 rounds of talks its october last year but during that time taliban fighters have carried out numerous attacks and suicide bombings and america has also continued its air campaign which is hit the taliban but this year has also caused the biggest number of civilian casualties the latest taliban bombing was in kabul last thursday in which 12 people were killed including an american soldier 2 days later the u. S. President in a tweet ditched what he said was going to be a secret meeting at camp david even as the taliban was claiming responsibility for thursdays attack Zalmay Khalilzad the u. S. Chief negotiator was on his way to katter for further talks that were later described as positive but the Afghan Government said the talks gave the taliban recognition the taliban has responded angrily to trump canceling the talks in a Statement Released on its website they said the agreement was finalized on saturday both sides agreed to all points they talked about intra afghan talks to begin on september the 23rd but warned that their struggle will continue and the u. S. Would suffer more the u. S. Has been criticized for offering the taliban too much for raising fears that the country could descend into civil war once the bulk of American Forces withdraw if there is a new agreement between the problem in the United States government about the role of the Party Foreign forces. That will be devoid of worth to not only put up can stand that would be good for the world situation part of that region and the International Community and that is something that troubles many afghans all of our growing as we know the taliban is not trustworthy and they do whatever they want and they misuse islamic laws and or to refine the way this country wont be better with them in the government. We are free of the taliban come out not only will womens rights be violated but also all human rights. All sides appear to agree that militarily they can be no winner in this conflict but also achieving a lasting peace is not going to be easy either where this leaves the Peace Process is anyones guess it depends largely on what the taliban chooses to do next either escalate the violence or return to the negotiating table in a different frame of mind afghanistan waits to see which one it will be Tony Berkeley al jazeera kabul. Now for more on this were joined by National Security analyst habeeb water back in kabul good to have you with us 1st of all let me start with the question of why why do you think the u. S. President donald trump decided to cancel the peace talks which by many accounts seemed so close. Well 1st of all let me say this is very unfortunate this is very unfortunate for the United States for the Afghan Government for the taliban and the African People at large now the reasons that led to the cancellation of this process slash talks could be many my assumption is that it did not have to do with the killing of the u. S. Soldier in call but a few days earlier due to a Suicide Attack we have had 2 soldiers who would could have did not to have gone to stand just 2 weeks ago and Nothing Happened mind you when when we are going into Peace Process we are not talking about ceasefire so all sides will carrying on with demanded teddie activities they were taking on each other but what let President Trump do to concert it last moment was a i think its because of the lack of consensus and washington d. C. As National Security adviser was not was not on board he clearly dejected senators such as done rejected it and you had other opposition within the United States who will close to president trying object to the idea of going into negotiations and signing an agreement with the taliban so thats number one number 2 was that. The taliban were asked to go and meet President Trump in the United States who signed a peace deal and i think the taliban was a little different they were like we will sign the agreement 1st in a neutral venue and then we will we will not mind traveling to the United States whereas for President Trump he wanted to personally sort of sign that agreement then and help his ratings because there are very short of the 20 twentieths actions as well that basically oblige him by what he had promised to the United States and last but not least is this whole issue of commitment versus delivery the african governments as a vision was the United States theres a vision was that we can just sign an agreement based on commitment there has to be something. Of delivery as well which is not true thank you cant have delivery unless you commit to opposing party to something so that these are the treaties of that i think led to the cancellation of these peace talks and very last moment if its partly due to some conflicting positions domestically within the us what options does that leave the us when do you think a unilateral withdrawal is on the table so drug what cannot happen because john bolton said that we cannot withdraw a lenticular im saying that we cannot withdraw because done on his son will be a threat to the American Security again but what im looking at is an intensified conflict. The there are still hawks in the u. S. Is to believe that they can team this insurgency in afghanistan with military pressure which is not true i mean look at it in 2009 what we have had was the obama surge we had 150000. 00 plus u. S. Troops on the ground and we still had the insurgency intensify and it was not claimed i think sooner or later we would have all of the parties coming back to negotiating table i mean the taliban in the United States coming to the negotiating table because there is no way out militarily yes military forces military Technology Satellites copters troops what they can do is they can contain insurgency had in that but it will never be able to eradicate in taman up root insurgency in afghanistan the sooner they come back to negotiating table i think it will be for the interest of the taliban would be for the interest of the United States for the Afghan Government the Afghan People did Regional Security and the more we we postpone it the more we are going to have intensified insurgency were going to have civilian casualties and africans will pay the price for major part of it. More i will leave it there for now thanks so much for your analysis on but what of the uk the us says its delivered enough emergency supplies for 44000 people to hurrican dorrian hit the bahamas but the u.
