They haven\u2019t said it explicitly, but that\u2019s their attitude. They have not fulfilled their commitment about reducing violence nor de-linking with al-Qaeda\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/swn.af\/en\/2021\/03\/01\/zalmay-khalilzad-meets-abdullah-abdullah-in-kabul\/\">Zalmay Khalilzad meets Abdullah Abdullah in Kabul\u00a0<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/swn.af\/en\/2021\/03\/20\/abdullah-opposed-ouster-of-interior-minister\/\">Abdullah opposes ouster of interior minister <\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<p>He said the Taliban talk about an Islamic system without giving any details. \u201cWhen it comes to principles like liberty, women\u2019s rights, human rights \u2014 they say that as long as they are in accordance with Islamic law, okay, but they refrain from giving their definition of Islamic law. If they want to impose a military solution, the history of Afghanistan has shown that that will only lead to the continuation of the war\u201d, he added.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/swn.english\">Follow Us on Facebook<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SWN_English\">Follow Us on Twitter<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<p>The HCNR chief said the Taliban may try to invade if they opt for a military solution, which would be a big miscalculation. \u201cBut, that will lead to the continuation of war, not to a Taliban takeover. Hopefully that will not be the scenario. We shouldn\u2019t give up on the talks. The whole international community, including the U.S. and other countries, are trying to find ways to support the talks\u201d, said Abdullah.<\/p>\n<p>ENDS<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MONITORING (SW) \u2013 Abdullah Abdullah, chairman High Council for National Reconciliation, has said a Taliban takeover of Afghanistan will not happen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":4552,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17,18,5,4,6,7],"tags":[12,13,296],"class_list":["post-4551","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-security_","category-peace","category-politics_","category-news_","category-afghanistan","category-headline","tag-afghanistan","tag-taliban","tag-abdullah"],"views":499,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/swn.af\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4551","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/swn.af\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/swn.af\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swn.af\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swn.af\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4551"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/swn.af\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4551\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swn.af\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4552"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/swn.af\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4551"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swn.af\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4551"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/swn.af\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4551"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
