The second round of the intra-Afghan negotiations was resumed on 5th of January in Qatari capital of Doha after both sides took a three week break to consult with the leaderships, following a breakthrough on the procedures of the negotiations.
But the violence has been on the rise as the government and Taliban escalated their offensives to gain leverage in the ongoing negotiations.
According to some sources, some members of the Taliban negotiating teams, including the chief negotiator, Abdul Hakim Haqqani have not traveled back to Doha from Pakistan, where the insurgent group enjoys safe havens.
