The Guardian: Afghan delegation heads to Qatar for talks with the Taliban

Scheduled meeting also involves representatives from Pakistan and would mark significant step towards opening formal talks to ending conflict in Afghanistan

An Afghan government delegation is heading to Qatar for “open discussions” with representatives of the Taliban aimed at ending Afghanistan’s long war, officials have said.

The scheduled meeting would mark a significant step towards opening formal talks to ending the conflict, but it is unclear whether the insurgents’ supreme leader, Mullah Omar, has approved them.

WNU Editor: I have lost count on how many times I have posted stories on Afghan - Taliban peace talks .... and then nothing happens. I expect this to continue with this "new round" of peace talks.
