Interesting article -- but I think the Afghan will have better luck talking to a wall -- the GHQ wants its pound of flesh -- the question is do the Afghans want to oblige or not.
Article here, excerpts below:
Islamabad: A top aide of Afghan President Ashraf Ghani has recently visited Pakistan in what comes as an indication of the acknowledgement of Pakistan's central role in Afghan peace process, as Kabul seeks Islamabad's help in bringing peace in the war-torn country.
Sources in Interior Ministry confirmed that Haji Din Muhammad, a close aide of President Ashraf Ghani has secretly visited Peshawar and Islamabad to lower tension between the two neighboring countries.
However, Afghanistan's Embassy in Islamabad insists that the Afghan dignitary was on 'condolence mission.'
When approached, an Embassy official, requesting anonymity, said Haji Din Muhammad visited Pakistan to offer condolences to the leaders of Awami National Party (ANP) on the death of one of their leaders.
...
"It looks like the Afghans have sensed the gravity of the situation only after some Afghan districts have been captured by Taliban. They have come to realise that Pakistan's role is vital in bringing peace in Afghanistan," the sources referred to an alarming upscale in Taliban led insurgency in Afghanistan.
...
Many believed Mullah Omar's death implied the demise of Pakistan's political role in Afghanistan's negotiated settlement before the revival of insurgency turned the tables with Kabul now seeking Islamabad's help to combat terrorism
