Afghan resistance leader Massoud says Taliban rejected peace talks

Kabul, Aug 22 (UNI/Sputnik) The Taliban (banned in Russia as terrorist) have rejected peace negotiations, Ahmad Massoud, the leader of the resistance in the Afghan province of Panjshir, said Sunday.

Panjshir will not surrender to the Taliban, and the locals are prepared to fight, he added.

In an earlier interview with the Asharq Al-Awsat newspaper, Massoud said that resistance leaders are ready to form an inclusive government with the Taliban through political negotiations, but an Afghan government “characterized by extremism” is unacceptable.
