Following the stalemate, inter-Afghan talks will resume in Doha from today.
Talks between the Taliban and the Afghan government began September 12. The release of prisoners and a reduction in violence will now be discussed.

The talks are expected to focus on the Afghan government’s permanent ceasefire in the country and issues related to the next government.
However, Government negotiator Ghulam Farooq Majrooh says Afghan government negotiators will push for a permanent ceasefire and protection of the current system of governance.
