Pakistan frees top Taliban commander

[afghan]

Press TV / October 17, 2010
Pakistan has freed a top Taliban commander in Afghanistan, Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, who can play a major role in secret talks with the US through the Pakistani army.
Asia Times Online said on Friday that Mullah Abdul will likely take part in back-channel negotiations with the United States as he has represented the Taliban leadership in previous talks with Washington.
Mullah Abdul's release, who was arrested in the southern Pakistani port city of Karachi in February, was confirmed by a senior Pakistani counter-terrorism official.
The Pakistani official added that the United States was fully aware of the development, but did not elaborate on Washington's reaction.
Mullah Abdul is believed to be top Taliban leader Mullah Omar's right-hand man.

That is good news, baradar has a big influence on taliban.

[Darweshkhel]

To end taliban they have to kill 80% of Pashtuns.Because taliban are mostly active in pashtun areas. I hope it will have a good end. Sharia for Afghanistan with some reforms
and will put NA under check.

I hope this war ends with peacetalks , would be in favor of both afghans and americans.

Thats a lie created by western media. In reality there are thousands of Uzbek and Arab jihadists that settled down in tribal areas along the border. ISI create Deobandi madrassas on a daily basis. Pashtun tribes dont support Taleban anymore, there are many Pashtuns among the Taleban but Badal is the reason they are fighting for. Pashtuns been devoted muslims and Taleban existed hundred years ago. They dont need Taleban they were already muslims. But Pashtun tribes will never forget their culture, which is Afghanyat and Pashto. These foreign Jihadi groups that are funded by Arab sheykhs must be expelled out of our areas. They are terrorizing people and killing elders. Theres no place for them in our areas, Pashtunkhwa is not a playground.

[Darweshkhel]

And what do you think will happen in Waziristan where there is a huge Taliban presence? Do you think they will melt away? What I mean is if this war is over, what will happen to all thsse people who have been fighting?

Why are you asking all these questions?

[afghan]

That is good news, baradar has a big influence on taliban.

hi arrest was in first place was to diturb the peace talks. now his release there could be two reasons.

1. now to disturb the peace talks by his realse
2. they want to kill him.
this also proves that pakistan is an important ally for peace in afghanistan.

[amna.]

I never understood who Pakistan is and what role they have in Afghan politics. Why cant they leave Afghanistan alone? They are influencing Afghanistan with terrorism.

[Catya Sher]

Yes, Unknown.
Even the secularists could help in a reconstruction effort, THEORETICALLY.
I fear they would be too busy screaming away insults at those who are in the way of Islam. Just look at the discussions last week right on this site.

They don't sound mature enough to forget past perceived wrongs and pitch in to help the national cause.

The chameleon type will easily shift to a pro-Islamic stance to ingratiate with the new leaders of Afghanistan. I hope they would be sincere, not faking their interest and biding their time to strike back and try to take over in order to re-impose secularism.

These are factors to consider: i hope secularists will work for the real BEST, not their own narrow nationalistic interests.

@DarweshKhel

I want peace for Pashtuns at any cost.

So whats your point, how do you want to see an end to this war?

Ustad Ulfat said

Pashtun hetskala badaree de cha manalee nashee
Ma che leedalay kho pashtun ghulam kedalay nashee
Makhoona tor de Pashtano de dooshmano weenam
Heetsok Pashto ao Pashtunwala wrekawalay nashee
Sindh ao Punjab zemozh yestale tore tal leedalee
Tareekh shahed day ao hetsok menkereedalay nashee
Muzh pa zeelat khwaree Panjab ta kala tlalee ne yu
Pa spaka sterga Panjabyan muzh ta katalay nashee

I also want peace, Caster. But peace at any cost means slavery for Pashtuns.
To create a coalition government with high ranking Taliban officials is the permission for Pakistan to interfere freely into our politics. We are transparent forever, the resources, military, industry, business and education, thats a bye-bye to our state sovereignty, foreign relations, security and military programs, everything, adios to Pashtunkhwa forever and death for AFG.

[Darweshkhel]

Catya I believe in secularism. What is your problem with it?

Have you been to AFG recently do you know peoples mentality?

[AnGaaR]

I hope something will happen in next 2 months.. we are tired of killings.. we are tired of seeing pashtons in blood.
