KABUL (SW) – Stephane Dujarric, the spokesperson for the United Nations Secretary-General, has recently announced the convening of a meeting on Afghanistan in Doha, the capital of Qatar, with the participation of representatives from various countries.
The meeting, slated for the February 18th and 19th, is anticipated to include a representative from the Islamic Emirate.
Highlighting the importance of dialogues and meetings to address the issues in Afghanistan, Mahmoud Ezterabi, an expert on international relations, expresses optimism about the potential positive outcomes of this upcoming meeting.
“This negotiation and its potential sustainability have the potential to bring about positive changes for Afghanistan, breaking free from the current impasse and fostering constructive solutions in Afghanistan’s interactions with the world,” Ezterabi told Salam Watandar.
Some other experts, however, are skeptical about the results of such meetings to solve the issues in Afghanistan.
They believe that the history of holding such meetings in the past two years, the insufficient competence of the United Nations, and the approach and vision of world powers toward Afghanistan are among the factors that may affect the positive outcome of such meetings.
“Western countries are not looking for stability and security inside Afghanistan, they are trying to create a crisis in Afghanistan, because peace and stability in Afghanistan will shorten their intervention in Afghanistan and the region,” said Seyed-Rohullah Hashemi, another expert on international relations.
Experts predict that the world’s preconditions, such as the formation of an inclusive government and the observance of human rights, especially women’s rights, will be crucial issues in this meeting. The caretaker government of Afghanistan’s resistance to these demands may hinder any progress in Afghanistan’s political and economic isolation, a topic openly are discussed in these meetings.
