\n The opening ceremony for talks between the Afghan government and Taliban insurgents began in Qatar\u2019s capital Doha on Saturday, marking the start of negotiations aimed at ending two decades of war that has killed tens of thousands of combatants and civilians.<\/p>\n

The 19-year conflict is also the United States\u2019 longest overseas military action, vexing three successive presidents.<\/p>\n

The ceremony began at 9 a.m with a recitation from the Koran, followed by opening comments by Qatar\u2019s foreign minister.<\/p>\n

Major players in the process, including Afghanistan\u2019s peace council chairman Abdullah Abdullah and Taliban leader Mullah Baradar Akhund, and U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo are also scheduled to speak.<\/p>\n

Officials, diplomats and analysts say that although getting both sides to the negotiating table was an achievement, this does not mean the path to peace will be easy.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe negotiations will have to tackle a range of profound questions about the kind of country Afghans want,\u201d Deborah Lyons, the United Nations special representative for Afghanistan, told the U.N Security Council this month.<\/p>\n

The inauguration ceremony comes one day after the 19th anniversary of the 9\/11 attacks on the United States that triggered its military involvement in Afghanistan.<\/p>\n

U.S. forces intervened in Afghanistan on the orders of President George W. Bush a month after the attacks to hunt down their mastermind, Osama bin Laden, a Saudi who had been given sanctuary by the country\u2019s radical Islamist Taliban rulers. They initially offered mainly air support to the Taliban\u2019s local enemies.<\/p>\n

Although the Taliban regime was quickly toppled, they regrouped and have since waged an insurgency that has sucked in Afghanistan\u2019s neighbors and troops from dozens of countries, including NATO forces.<\/p>\n

Negotiations to broker a comprehensive peace deal were envisaged in a troop withdrawal pact signed between the United States and the Taliban in February in an attempt to find a political settlement to end the war.<\/p>\n

After months of delay, a dispute over the Taliban\u2019s demand for the release of 5,000 prisoners was resolved this week.<\/p>\n

Ahead of the U.S. presidential election in November, President Donald Trump is looking to show progress in his pledge to end the U.S. involvement and pull out most of the foreign forces stationed in Afghanistan.<\/p>\n

The United States has reduced its troop levels and by November is expected to have fewer than 5,000 soldiers in Afghanistan, down from about 13,000 when the U.S.-Taliban deal was signed. More than 2,300 U.S. troops have been killed in Afghanistan since 2001, and about 450 British soldiers.<\/p>\n

A European diplomat in Kabul said that a ceasefire \u2013 which the Taliban have so far rejected \u2013 should top the talk\u2019s agenda.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Taliban leaders will have to stop fighters from attacking Afghan forces and civilians, violence continues to degrade the atmosphere and potentially derail negotiations,\u201d the diplomat said.<\/p>\n

How to include the Taliban, who reject the legitimacy of the Western-backed Afghan government, in any governing arrangement and how to safeguard the rights of women and minorities who suffered under Taliban rule are big challenges, experts said.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, many diplomats, victims of violence and members of civil society say negotiations are the only realistic way to bring an end to a conflict that has killed more than 100,000 civilians and hampered Afghanistan\u2019s development, leaving millions in poverty.<\/p>\n

\u201cSolutions will not be found on the battlefield, we know this,\u201d Lyons said.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
