The High Peace Council of Afghanistan (HPC) on Sunday said that if the Taliban ask for a constitutional amendment to be on agenda in the peace talks, the Afghan government is prepared to take such a demand into consideration.

“Any discussion which takes place is carried out based on the current situation in Afghanistan. We said that we are ready to include amendments in Constitution in the agenda for talks between the government and the Taliban, if the Taliban asks for,” HPC spokesman Sayed Ehsan Tahiri said.

Helmand governor’s office in a statement on Sunday said that Mullah Mohammad Rahim Mannan, also known as Mullah Abdulmannan Akhund, head of Taliban’s military commission and designated governor of Helmand, was killed in a drone strike in the province on Saturday.

The statement said the drone strike was carried out in Helmand’s Nawzad district.
