Police used tear gas after they tried to detain 3 leaders of the Afghan Community here and we saw them using tear gas again when we arrived here on the scene we also saw a scuffle between the afghan family and the afghan family and the police so it was a very tense situation and actually its so easy it can as collate further.

Who spoke with the governor of the islands today and he told us that help is on the way that it can take longer to provide people here with what they need by i have to say that i really cannot say that the local authorities are putting a lot of effort into providing the refugees with water and with food that the conditions here are really grim just a few minutes ago we saw trucks with water arriving here on the scene and people were desperate to get in front of the avarice they ran to to get at least one bottle of water this one person was injured man broke his arm doing those chaotic and very dramatic scene and people are getting increasingly frustrated with this situation we spoke with many refugees here lets take a listen to what they had to say.

Well historic a peace talks between the Afghan Government and the taliban have begun today in a bid it to end 2 decades of fighting and bloodshed the meeting in the gulf state of kasha is the 1st time the 2 warring sides have met face to face mediators like the United States are pushing for unity but the 2 sides have a vastly different visions for the future of afghanistan. A quran recitation to start the event many afghans have been waiting for for decades face to face peace talks between the government and the taliban United States secretary of state mike compare flew to the Opening Ceremony in doha qatar and urged the warring sides to seize the opportunity. Of the choice of your political system is of course yours to make in the United States weve found a democracy notably the principle of peaceful resolution and rotation of political power works best. Democratic systems reflect the choices of the majority while protecting the human rights of everyone everyone that includes women and minorities their rights have been largely neglected by the taliban is just one of the several points the 2 sides disagree on. The use of violence as another the chair of the high council for National Reconciliation calls for an immediate humanitarian cease fire we huff come here with good will and Good Intention to stop the 40 years of blood shoot and achieve a countrywide and lasting peace will see that the taliban have long worried that reducing violence could give them less leverage at the negotiation table in their Opening Statement instead focused on their desire to include tenants of islam and any future Afghan Government in this. Request an. Abode saw its. Provisions all the whole of religion all of. The warring sides offered to dramatically different versions of a postwar afghanistan but the leaders meeting today stressed that violence will not help build. How money is future. Well for more on these historical peace talks a lets cross now to journalist alley in kabul thanks for joining us what are negotiators on both sides hoping to achieve and where do you think we might see the biggest Sticking Points the biggest Sticking Points will obviously be around a cease fire because you know the talabani are hesitant to declare a nationwide long term cease fire they have declared to cease fires in the past year or so previously the government also initiated a cease fire but this will be a major major Sticking Point and then for the government a major issue for them is sort of retaining this idea of the republic and making sure that their seats are secure because you know there are a lot of people within the government that the taliban and other groups and even people within of honest on you know might find suspect were talking about former communists about warlords about people who as young people put it parachuted in from Foreign Countries and dont necessarily understand the cultural and religious and live and aspects of the country or the languages so these types of people are very afraid for their jobs so maintaining the republic is also very important for them so these are the kinds of things that will really and that could really sort of hold up the talks right now the taliban has said it wants an islamic government that is also inclusive one of the interesting things thats going to come out of these talks is that the taliban is going to have to clearly lay out their political vision for the country what are we expecting to hear. Well this is the thing is what we here is up to them because this has been the question that has been asked of them of their supporters of other groups within the government or within the Afghan Society who have sort of similar views is that what does it mean that you want an Islamic Society because all aspects of Afghan Society are based on islam whether youre talking about the laws or the constitution or the Education System everything has to fall within the parameters of sharia and islam and islamic jurisprudence and all of these things so the government the told and finally has to be upfront and say when we mean an islamic system this is what we mean because you know for its a very in doha women work they drive they go out Shopping Centers you know they have shisha they go to cafes whatever so if theyre trying to sort of implement what they did in 1906 itll kind of fall flat because theyll be like you were just in this country for all these years where women had these sorts of rights. And now after almost 2 decades in afghanistan the u. S. Has agreed to a timeline for withdrawing foreign troops in a february deal with the taliban are these negotiations expected to produce the kind of results that the u. S. And its nato allies are hoping for thats exactly what the u. S. Wants and you know the way when it was announced that mike pompei would be coming that he replying from washington for these talks thats how people in vision his role is that he would be the enforcer right almost like the principal in a school full of unruly children and sharing that they come to an agreement and ensuring that they lay out the steps on both sides necessary for the u. S. To withdraw and for donald trump to be able to declare that he was finally the u. S. President to and a 20 year involvement in afghanistan so this is very very important for the United States as well all right journalist thank you.

No one is talking to africans and asking them what they envisage what solutions they have in mind and want to sort of cooperation they would like to see here bridge is the repatriation of objects so thats. Some of which are over 100 years old what matters most of them all might they have other priorities figure speak to where not say all i am not saying that everything should be right on but if there are walls that were taken on the very hour salary conditions i think they should bear it on to their own good justification for the killing spree massacre and therefore it cannot be any just official fully functional return for the consumer attention of waterpark lives in the mold of a pair.
