As the countdown begins for intra-Afghan negotiations, Abdullah Abdullah, the head of the High Council for National Reconciliation, who landed in Doha with Afghan delegates on Friday evening said he remains hopeful about the results of the talks.    

“We are hopeful. All Afghans want peace. It is the demand of all Afghans. We hope that we reach a conclusion,” Abdullah said. “It is not possible to solve Afghanistan’s complicated matters in one or two days. It needs time, but time should not be wasted.”

Abdullah will attend the opening ceremony of the direct peace talks with the Taliban on Saturday. He will also meet with officials in Qatar as he mentioned in a tweet after he landed in Doha.
