13758326 The Karzai government sabotaged the negotiations with the U.S. "Taliban"
The Government of Afghanistan disrupted negotiations between the U.S. and representatives of the movement "Taliban". On August 29 this informs Associated Press. According to the agency after learning that members of the U.S. administration for several months spent at least three secret meetings with an emissary of the leader of "Taliban" Mohammed Omar, the Afghan authorities released information about the conversation. As a result, the Taliban envoy had to flee the country, and negotiations were broken off. According to information from various sources, the mediator, whose name Tayab Yeah, now hiding in Europe for several months and does not enter into negotiations with the Americans. At the same sources in the U.S. administration has confirmed that talks were suspended as a result of information leakage and the disappearance of a mediator. Meetings between the Americans and the representative, Mohammed Omar were held in late 2010 – early 2011 in Qatar and Germany. It was in Germany, by some accounts, now hidden Tayab Yeah. As the AP, the holding of direct talks between the U.S. and the Taliban could displease the President of Afghanistan Hamid Karzai, since double-sided format of meetings does not provide for participation by the Afghan government and undermines the authority of the president. In June 2011, Karzai announced the start of multilateral talks with representatives of the "Taliban", which along with the United States also participated in Afghanistan and other countries.
