President Ashraf Ghani on Saturday said the group forcing people to hold peace talks must avoid discussing the issue of dissolving the country’s army. 

He said: “Those who are forcefully bringing others to negotiate must not talk about dissolving our “lions” (army); if they are so brave, then they must come and fight on the battlefield instead of carrying out suicide (attacks) and explosions,” Ghani said.

Host Sadaf Amiri discusses the topic with the following guests:
