Kabul (July 07, 2018): Afghan Taliban have again rejected an offer for peace talks with the government in Kabul.
According to an International News Agency, Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said in a statement that the insurgents are not interested in talks while foreign soldiers are still on Afghan soil.
Mujahid also repeated long-standing Taliban claims that Afghan government officials are puppets.
Taliban leaders have at times expressed interest in holding peace talks but they have refused to meet with the U.S.-backed government, saying they will only negotiate with the United States directly about the withdrawal of all foreign forces.
