Meanwhile, as far as the Afghan Taliban is concerned, Afghanistan President Ashraf Ghani asserted that he was the first to offer talks on peace with the Taliban over the hurdles created over the previous regimes. 

He was quoted as stating, “For the first time, I announced the unconditional offer of peace talks to the Taliban. For the unprecedented reason, I said that the previous government had imposed 11 conditions for negotiating with the Taliban, which was the main obstacle to the start of the peace process. But I got rid of these obstacles.”
