KABUL - The Ghazni Governor asked the Taliban to shift their political office from Doha to the province, serving as the current capital of the Islamic civilization.

Addressing a meeting of the Tribal Solidarity Council, Musa Khan Akbarzada said the insurgent movement should ponder over his proposal if it was really interested in peace negotiations.

Mr. Akbarzada told the audience, that the Taliban’s argument regarding a foreign military in Afghanistan no longer sounded plausible.

The opening of the movement’s bureau in Doha negated it, the governor said, explaining the Taliban representatives in Qatar were living in a foreign building and using vehicles of the host government.

He said the ongoing war was aimed to promote foreign interests, but the Afghans were paying the cost. The gubernatorial call was supported by the participants.
