Reuters: Taliban recalls negotiators from Afghanistan after suspending prisoner exchange talks
KABUL/WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Taliban on Tuesday recalled the insurgent group’s negotiators from Afghanistan hours after they suspended talks on a prisoner exchange process with the Afghan government, a spokesman for the hard-line Islamist group said in a tweet.
Suhail Shaheen, a spokesman for Taliban’s political office in Qatar, said “the intentional delays in the release of our prisoners violates the peace agreement, therefore we call back our technical team back from Kabul”.
Early on Tuesday the militant group broke off talks with the Afghan government on a prisoner exchange by calling it a series of “fruitless meetings” that were seen as crucial steps in peace talks being brokered by the United States after it agreed on a troop withdrawal pact with the militants.
