In Afghanistan, the main opposition alliance has decided not to participate in the three day peace consultative Jirga beginning in Kabul tomorrow even as the Afghan government maintains that Jirga is meant for people and not for the government or opposition.Addressing a press conference in Kabul this afternoon, the main leader of opposition northern alliance Dr. Abdullah Abdullah said that they will not participate in the Jirga as it is being organized by government with little participation from civil society and political parties.Dr. Abdullah, who was the main rival to President Hamid Karzai during last year elections, said that the agenda and aim of Jirga is not clear since very beginning. He asserted that most of the representatives are from government side and the decision of Jirga cannot be binding without the representation of Parliament, which he termed as representative of people. Dr. Abdullah said that achieving peace is not possible without security and governance in large parts of the country.Meanwhile, Presidential spokesman Waheed Omar said around 1500-1600 participants have gathered for the Jirga. He said goal of Jirga is for people to come together and advise government on way forward to peace process. Mr. Omar said most of the MPs will participate but participation can not be imposed. Taliban-led militant groups have not been invited to the Jirga but the spokesman said some of their sympathisers may be present. Afghan government is expected to unveil a rehabilitation program for low-level militants while senior militant leaders are expected to be offered asylum in another country for their backing of peace process.
