Pakistan-Afghanistan peace talks end with no resolution

Peace talks between Afghanistan and Pakistan ended in a stalemate on Friday, with Afghanistan's Taliban goverrnment blaming the impasse on Islamabad's "irresponsible and uncooperative" approach.
Representatives of two neighboring countries met on Thursday in Turkey in a bid to secure a truce they had agreed to on October 19 after border clashes resulted in casualties on both sides.
Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid laid the blame with Pakistan.
"During the discussions, the Pakistani side attempted to shift all responsibility for its security to the Afghan government, while showing no willingness to take responsibility for either Afghanistan's security or its own," Mujahid said.
But despite the talks failing, the spokesman said the ceasfire "will hold."
Mujahid said "there is no issue" with the ceasefire, as he thanked Qatar and Turkey for their mediation roles.
