Policy convention deems Afghanistan key to regional peace


ISLAMABAD: Former Afghan leader in the Soviet war and esteemed intellectual Dr Ghulam Farouq Azam on Monday asserted that Afghanistan has immense potential to facilitate its neighbours, especially India and Pakistan, to shed differences and work together for a peaceful and prosperous future. He was speaking at an interactive session held at Institute of Policy Studies, Islamabad, which was chaired by former ambassador and foreign secretary Tanveer Ahmed Khan.

Azam, also two times minister in the post-USSR withdrawal Afghan National Alliance government, said that the peace process should be initiated and led by Afghans. Azam said that Afghanistan’s neighbours have legitimate interests in Afghanistan and vice versa. He was of the view that the United States could not win the war but that did not imply that the armed opposition or any of the neighbouring countries of Afghanistan could emerge as the winner.
Azam said that after the defeat of the USSR in Afghanistan and the subsequent withdrawal of its troops, the opposition forces did not emerge victorious either and were not able to form a strong, consensus government. The same situation may emerge again, he warned. Stressing the need for an Afghan-initiated and Afghan-led peace process, Azam revealed that he along with some other influential people of Afghanistan were working on a peace formula which would be honourable for all stakeholders. “The majority should be able to accept and support it and those who do not like it should not feel marginalised,” he said.
