Taliban ready to resume peace talks - following Trump's Kabul visit - SABC News - Breaking news, special reports, world, business, sport coverage of all South African current events. Africa's news leader.

The Taliban said on Friday they were ready to restart peace talks with the United States, a day after President Donald Trump made a surprise visit to U.S. troops in Afghanistan – and said he believed the radical group would agree to a ceasefire.

“The Taliban wants to make a deal and we are meeting with them,” Trump told reporters after arriving in Afghanistan on Thursday. “We say it has to be a ceasefire and they didn’t want to do a ceasefire and now they want to do a ceasefire, I believe. It will probably work out that way.” On Friday, Zabihullah Mujahid, a spokesperson for the hard line Islamist insurgent group, said they were “ready to restart the talks” that collapsed after Trump had called them off earlier this year. “Our stance is still the same. If peace talks start, it will be resumed from the stage where it had stopped,” Mujahid told Reuters.
