A peace on paper: mujahideen sign a pact, but hurdles remain

Article Abstract:

Eight of Afghanistan's major political parties have finally reached an agreement after six days of negotiations brokered by Pakistan. The peace and elections agreement, however, was not without setbacks such as criticisms and the pessimistic outlook even among signatories that the new Islamabad peace accord is no better than the other previous peace initiatives. It also carried political repercussions such as suspicions that the agreement only served to favor hard-line Pashtun leader Gulbuddin Hekmatyar and his Hizbe Islami faction.
