<p><a href="/en/afganistan/kabul" class="glossify-link">KABUL</a> did not end the ongoing conflict and failed to use necessary flexibility in peace talks, the nation will rise up to change the current dire situation.</p>
<p>Hundreds of members of the CM held a gathering in Kabul and asked the warring sides to reconcile.</p>
<p>Nazir Ahmadzai, a former member of <a href="/en/wolesi-jirga" class="glossify-link">Wolesi Jirga</a> activists, former and sitting members of the national assembly, retired civilian and military figures and victims’ families.</p>
<p>In a resolution letter, the Change Movement called on the Afghan government and the Taliban to restart the intra-Afghan peace talks, move from minor issues and discuss the main points of the agenda.</p>
<p>Almost two months back, the intra-Afghan peace negotiations began in Qatari capital Doha city, but the two sides are yet to reach an agreement on the procedures and agenda.</p>
<p>It’s worth mentioning that four members of the Afghan government peace negotiating team returned to Kabul for unknown reasons a few days back.</p>
<p>The CM resolution said the Afghan government and the Taliban must stop violence and blind bombardment and both sides must put forward any demands and ambitions at the negotiating table.</p>
<p>The movement called on the Taliban to first bring reduction in violence, declare truce and stop killing of brothers in <a href="/en/afghanistan" class="glossify-link">Afghanistan</a>.</p>
<p>Nazir Ahmadzai urged the Taliban not to work for their personal interests and instead listen to the demands of people.</p>
<p>He told the Taliban, “You announced ceasefire with foreigners but are killing your Afghans, leave your political and material interests and listen to the voice of the nation.”</p>
<p>Ahmadzai added if the ongoing peace talks gave no results, his movement was ready to mediate in the negotiations as a third party, so that the negotiations could proceed faster.</p>
<p>A number of other members of the movement held similar views and urged the Afghan government and the Taliban to declare truce for lasting peace in Afghanistan.</p>
