Nawaz Sharif offers to broker Afghan talks

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz) chief Nawaz {not-so} Sharif is willing to broker talks between the Afghan government and the Taliban, his spokesman said Tuesday, amid reports that Sharif is already playing a key role.

The offer came after a Pakistani newspaper reported that Sharif, in conjunction with Saudi Arabia, is helping to seek a settlement between the hardline Taliban and the US-backed regime of President Hamid Karzai.

Spokesman Siddiqul Farooq confirmed that Sharif had spent the last two weeks in Saudi Arabia for the Muslim festival of Eid al-Fitr, but told AFP that he could not immediately comment on the report.

‘But Nawaz Sharif is a credible leader {since when?} of Pakistan and he has dealt with Taliban wisely during his government in the past. He would be more than happy to play a role in national and international peace,’ Farooq said.

‘I cannot say whether he has established any contact with Taliban and the Afghan government with Saudi Arabia’s blessings.’

The Afghanistan government on Monday denied a US media report that a first round of negotiations took place in Saudi Arabia last month. Karzai has called for peace talks with the Taliban.

Pakistan backed the Taliban during Sharif’s second spell in power from 1997 to 1999. Under him, Pakistan was one of only three countries to recognise the Taliban, along with Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.

He also has strong ties to Saudi Arabia, having spent seven years in exile there until his return to Pakistan last year.

So, not-so-Sharif is offering a brokering deal, hah. CNN reported that a “negotiating” meeting has been going on between Karzai team and Taliban hosted by Saudis but per this article Karzai has denied of such a meeting.

When Pakistan was making peace deals with Taliban in FATA under Musharraf whole world went crazy and suggested Pakistan is caving in, Pakistan is siding with terrorists and what not. After Musharraf Gillani also tried peace-pact with Taliban and world went crazy again… though on both occasions Taliban failed the peace accord themselves.

Now Afghanistan/US are both willing to make peace-deal with Taliban, US is even willing to let Taliban come return to (shared) power… what hypocrites!

If there is an movement or attempt by anyone who can get American Force out of here or reduce their operation and number, it should be highly appreciated and supported.

Do you really think that Pakistani problem is American forces in Afghanistan? Do you think that the thugs of Lal Masjid were creating fitna and fisad because of American forces in Afghanistan, or Dogs of Swat are fighting, killing and slaughtering innocent Pakistanis because of American forces in Afghanistan?

Yes i do believe that Current problems in Pakistan in mainly because USA has destablized the Region, once these forces will leave the region, FATA and Other So called religious activitists will lose the basis of retaliation against the current govt. at the same time govt. will be able to control the Afghan-Pak Border to stop arms and others to be smuggled in, while taking care of those 14 or 12 Indian Consulates over the Pak-Afghan Border.

The Mind set which thinks that America do want peace and all its activities are just for garanting the peace in the region are either living in fools paradise or they are stupic enough to not to see the out-come of this so-called war on terrorism Not to mentioned the third scenario where, only an agent with anti-pakistan forces will support the stay of American les forces in the region.

You mean, Peace in Pakistan depends on USA and if Afghan government and USA thinks that USA should stay in Afghanistan, these retards would put dynamite in their A*s and would keep blowing themselves to kill Pakistanis?

So, what you want? For Pakistan to find peace, Pakistan sends ‘70 Hoors’ to Americans and ‘70 Gulmans plus Wheat and Naswar’ to Afghans and begs both of them, so that Americans leave Afghanistan? :hmmm:

Re: Nawaz Sharif offers to broker Afghan talks

^^ Your cannot think beyond the saying of yoru "peer"

It is now evident and proven that the militancy in the FATA, Balochistan and Northern region is directly sponsored by India and backed by USA.

How many of these event took place when these Amerincans and Indians were not sitting on our northern borders?

Remember Swat was a tourist site??? who converted this tourist heaven into a war zone, who sponsored it!!! it is Indians backed by Americans.. the sooner you understand the better it is. but with the mentallity to hate others till death, won't help anyone.

Infact in those times, Someone in Karachi was doing almost the same, hitting Interests of Pakistan. Killing Innocents and bombing here and there.

I do not agree that terrorism in FATA, Baluchistan and Northern area (Swat, etc) are sponsored by USA and India. I think that terrorism in FATA and NA are done by retards who want to impose their Shaitanic cult over Pakistan (there examples are Retards of Lal Masjid and Mullah Radio of Swat).

As for problem in Baluchistan, that is political though taking advantage of that political problem, India and possibly USA might be using them for their purpose too. India is responding to Pakistan support of Kashmiris in Kashmir. Whereas, USA did not like Musharraf policy of giving China influence in Gawader and agreeing trade with Iran, including insisting on gas IPI project. Anyhow, to please Americans, Present political government is distancing themselves from China and IPI project is also getting shelved.

Anyhow: suppose what you believe is right and problem in these areas are due to America and India, then also question arises that what Pakistan can do about it? Obviously Pakistan is not in a position to send forces in Afghanistan to occupy Afghanistan and get Americans out of there, or let Pakistani soil used by miscreants to fight their war against USA in Afghanistan. As, if Pakistan would do that than it would be taking confrontation with USA, that is not in interest of Pakistan economically as well as militarily. Any such confrontation is unacceptable and out of question. Pakistan is also not in a position to occupy Delhi militarily and thus force India from sponsoring terrorism in Pakistan.

So, Pakistan only has one option, that is to kill these terrorists who are Indian and American sponsored ... and are making life in Pakistan difficult.

Again, you are wrong. Nothing ever happened in Karachi that was against Pakistan or interest of Pakistan. There is no doubt that government of Pakistan always did injustice and discriminated against people of Karachi. Karachi had genuine reasons to fight for their rights. If a political party representing Karachi fought Pakistani government and establishment for their rights than there was nothing wrong with it. If whatever propaganda is true, than only bad happened was that many innocent Pakistanis who came to Karachi to find jobs may have became victim. Nevertheless, many Karachiets also become victim of government atrocities at that time.

Worse is that, innocents did not became victim only in Karachi (both locals and non-locals), but that has happened in Sindh and Baluchistan too (that is still happening). At both places (along with Karachi) Pakistan government and establishment did (rather doing) injustice and discriminating against locals. Regularly people fight in these areas against injustice and discrimination with result that locals by government forces and non-locals by locals get victimised.

Solution of Karachi was there, that to give people of Karachi equal rights and control over their lives, what all Pakistanis should have. As for these Fisadis, they are not fighting to get their rights or control over their lives. They want to control lives of others all over Pakistan. If they were fighting against injustices and discrimination, or wanted to have control over their own lives, than it was fine. In thst situation, Pakistan would have looked at their grievances and would have sorted that out.

What made you cry today ?

Before 1990s no gang declared "sharia enforced" but once the Afghan war was over some warlords couldn't find anything suitable to satisfy their 'fighting needs' so they declared "Sharia" in Malakand (?). Pakistani forces had to fight them to take control of the area.

US/India do have their share in the destabilization but removing coalition/US forces from Afghanistan is not going to completely eliminate the problem either.

That’s why there was a blast in Bhakkar - to fire a warning shot at NS. Following the blast, you will see CTBT brothers backing off from this offer. They have always been as courageous as they are shareef.

Hillarious Post,

Those guys think that they are going to inforce Shariah? and they are fighting for it… come on you could have done better… I request you to identify Pakistan’s enemies and interests first and then we will talk.

and yes, we should just cut the branches and let the roots of the problems stay, and any effort for having US forces out of Afghanistan ( diplomatic or others) if done by the personalities we don’t like should not be supported. Is this your stance?

And just for your information, in the In-camera breifing it is said that RAW and MOSAAD is invovled in Suicide attacks…i guess even this will not make you believe untill the wada kala peer sahib says so…

or you and your leadership sees that, breaking away from a stronger Pakistan is bit difficult compare to a weaker and unstable Pakistan?

And yes burning the Flag of Pakistan, killing innocents, extortion and Saying creating Pakistan was a Mistake, Jinnah pur and all those kind of incidents were done in the interest of Pakistan.

To me Taliban of northern Areas and MQM are same, with one main difference, later use ethinic reasons for selling their idealogy and earlier use Islam for the same purpose.

I agree, the removal of US forces is not total solution but their existence in Afghanistan in this big number is surely creating problems in form of terrorism and economical instability.

Imagine all these naives are not getting any support from the other side of the borders, nor their is any International Force their, can they manage to have 500 or 1000 KG of explosive material?

Can they have guns and bullets and other weapons this easy?

The Malakand problem in Mid 90s was solved in one day, one military operation and never heard of them again till these forces came to rescue them.
Unhappy or opportunist exists in every society and all they require is a catalyst to react.
