In Afghanistan, all preparations are in place for a three-day peace consultative Jirga to be held in Kabul from Wednesday. The Jirga is a conglomeration of tribal elders and elected officials from all over the country and will discuss the peace plan to seek reconciliation with Taliban-led militant groups. <br/><br/>Around 1500 participants from all over the country have gathered to discuss ways to mitigate violence in the war-torn country. No militant group has been invited to attend the meeting but a faction of Hezb-e-Islami led by Gulbuddin Hekmatyar may participate. <br/><br/>The holding of Jirga was a pre-election promise of President Hamid Karzai and has received support from western nations. 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. <br/><br/>The government has made it clear that it will buy peace only with those who severe their links with Al-Qaeda and accept the Afghan constitution. <br/><br/>Security is tight in capital Kabul as militants may try to sabotage the process. Police checkpoints have been set up at all the roads leading up to the venue of Loya Jirga tent and normal traffic is being diverted from the area. <br/>
