Political Sacrifices for Peace in Afghanistan

What can the Afghans (Government, Political Parties, and Tribes on both sides of the Durand Line, The North, South, East and West, Including the Afghan Diasporas around the World) do to make certain that this process is successful? If you really care about the future of your children:

1.       Hold the super powers accountable for starting sincere peace talks.

2.       Stop being negative about the peace talks.

3.       Stop being negative for your personal benefit.

4.       Stop being negative for only your tribe's benefits.

5.       Stop being negative for only your Political Parties benefits.

6.       Stop selling each other.

7.       Support the peace talks till the ink no longer exist around the world in every pen, pencil and printer around the world and use social media and scream as loud as you can.

a.    We want Peace Talks for Afghanistan!

b.    We don't want any more wars in Afghanistan!

c.     We want our children to grow up when we are alive!

d.    Don't use us because we are poor to give each other a Black eye in Afghanistan!

e.    We need your help to rebuild Afghanistan with our trillions of dollars of resources!

What can the Super Powers, Afghanistan's Neighbors do to have a peaceful Afghanistan and prevent further bloodshed for the poor people of Afghanistan and for the benefits of their own countries? They have to first recall the times before the Russians came to Afghanistan. Afghanistan was a peaceful country.

1.       The world needs to hear from the highest levels of the administrations what the United States and its partners in the peace talks intend to achieve in Afghanistan and what a long-term strategy looks like.
   
   
2.       There is a need for envoys who clearly speaks for the peace talks, drives peace talk's policies, and is charged with the task of developing and implementing strategies. The appointment of Zalmay Khalilzad from United States and one additional individual from every country that will meet that requirement if they receive clear political authority from all countries involved in the peace talks is crucial.
   
   
3.       Afghanistan's neighbors need to be assured that a stable Afghanistan will advance, not undermine, their regional interests.
   
   
4. There is considerable overlap of interests in Afghanistan's stability, those subjects should be pursued more effectively as Washington and Moscow can coordinate on which they can cooperate.
   
   

There is an opportunity to bring the conflict in Afghanistan to an end, but doing so will require genuine effort to accomplish the task.
