State Department wants Taliban to join peace process

PESHAWAR (Pajhwok): The Obama administration has asked the Taliban.

State Department spokesman John Kirby issued the call days after the militant movement refused to enter a reconciliation dialogue with the government of President Ashraf Ghani.

Instead of continuing to fight against their fellow citizens and destabilising the country, they should engage in the peace process, the State Department spokesman added.

There should be a sense of urgency around getting thedialogue up and running, Kirby told journalists at a news conference in Washington on Monday.
