The President of Afghanistan Ashraf Ghani has warned that if peace talks with the Taliban don't start by April, the conflict would intensify. He said such eventuality would have consequences across the region. Speaking to the BBC, President Ghani urged Pakistan to engage with his government in fighting Taliban. “The war in Afghanistan is just one component of a war. Paksitan is at war. And you need to cover this. Daily, the Pakistani army is using force. But force, the problems, because the problems are interrelated, it cannot be solved by use of force in one country.”
