As Taliban captures Kabul, Afghan leaders arrive in Pakistan

 

As the Taliban took control of Kabul, a delegation of the Afghan political leadership, including Speaker of the House of the People Mir Rehman Rehmani, arrived in Islamabad, Pakistan. The national security of Pakistan is urging Afghan leaders to try to quickly reach a politically negotiated settlement with the Taliban to avoid further violence in Afghanistan. Since it is taking the lives of many people and have settled the feeling of death from fear in thousands.

 

The adviser, Moeed Yusuf, appealed to Islamabad by saying that the fall of the city after city in neighbouring Afghanistan underscores the need to expedite the peace process. Since they have considerable influence over the Taliban and has in the past succeeded in pressuring them to the negotiating table, it is hoped that this time as well they can reach a peaceful conclusion.

 

Although, Kabul has criticized Islamabad for offering shelter to Taliban leaders and has claimed the neighbouring country also provides a haven for Taliban fighters. With time, the Taliban are gaining more control over the affluent cities of Afghanistan, and people are flying out in numbers to save their lives.

 



Ambassador Muhammad Sadiq, who is the Pakistan Representative for Afghanistan, tweeted that he received the Afghan delegation at Islamabad International Airport. Matters of mutual interest will be discussed during the Afghan political leadership’s visit. Their group consists of leaders who were part of the different governments after the Taliban was toppled in 2001. Their arrival coincided with President Ghani fleeing the country, extremely weakening the bargaining position of his supporters.

 

It was cleared out by the officials that Pakistan has no favourites in the conflict, and it is on the same page with the international community to find a political solution to the problems. Though they tend to agree that there should be no military solution to the Afghan issue and all problems should be resolved through dialogue.

Al Gore has history of climate predictions, statements proven false

  Noted climate activist and former Vice President Al Gore, who made headlines this week after he claimed   global warming was "boiling the oceans,"   has a history of making climate-related proclamations later proven to be false. During remarks made Wednesday at the  World Economic Forum summit  in Davos, Switzerland, Gore warned that continued carbon emissions into the atmosphere would destroy the planet and lead to widespread calamities. "We’re still putting 162 million tons [of greenhouse gas] into it every single day and the accumulated amount is now trapping as much extra heat as would be released by 600,000 Hiroshima-class atomic bombs exploding every single day on the earth," Gore said.
