The Taliban spokesman has accepted negotiations

Source: al emerah (Taliban voice)

The Taliban spokesman, Qari Yousuf Ahmadi, in a interview with Associate Press responded to a question asking whether the Taliban are ready to find a solution for the crisis in Afghanistan through negotiations with the Kabul administration like in the negotiations with South Korea. He stated that if independent nationals of our country are protected in these negotiations according to Islamic rules and if the ground is paved for the withdrawal of foreign troops, then the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan is ready to take part in such negotiations, but we don’t believe that the Kabul administration is competent to negotiate with us according to these conditions, and that the Kabul administration is well aware of this firm stance of ours […].

Therefore, the government asks for negotiations and invites the Taliban for negotiation in order to deceive people and keep the reality secret. But on the other hand a number of media outlets in the service of invaders have been trying to create concern in the minds of the people. The goal of the Taliban is to oust the foreigners from the country and to maintain an Islamic system [of governance] in the country since the Christian invaders attacked Afghan territory. And the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan has defended its position for the past six years and in this way thousands of Mujahideen have been victims and have been dispatched to Guantanamo, Bagram, Kandahar and other cruel prisons. [They have] borne many punishments. The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan has not only fought against this goal, but they believe that it is [now] the time to defeat the current invader from our country with the assistance of God just like with the previous one.

In the end, we again demand that the media publish correct news. They should publish the exact news whatever happens.

possible cultural repruction

Paramount Studios that made the $18m film, called ‘the kite runner’, has postponed the picture's release until it can ensure the safety of the two young Afghans who portray the protagonists.

Ahmad Khan Mahmidzada, the boy who plays Hassan, and his family have alleged that the film-makers did not tell them about the scene until the day of shooting. Concerned at the possible repercussions the children may face, the studio is bringing them to the US at the time of the film's worldwide release.

Twelve-year-old Ahmad Khan, who is from Kabul, spoke about the rape scene to the Associated Press last month, saying: "They didn't give me the script. They didn't give me the story. If I knew about the story, I wouldn't have participated as an actor in this film."

The scene is a highly impressionistic rendering of a Pashtun man raping Hassan, a Hazara boy from a servant's family. The actor's parents say it could inflame painful ethnic divisions in Afghanistan.

Another actor, Nabi Tanha, who plays Hassan's father, has also expressed concerns about the language used against members of Afghanistan's Hazara ethnic group, portrayed in the film.

The studio has altered the film's release date to leave time for the two boys to complete their school year in Afghanistan, which ends on December 6. The boys will then go to the US, accompanied by guardians.
