As the reconciliation process is proceeding, the concerns about it are increasing as well. In fact, it has not been Afghanized in the way it should be. Not only representatives of opposition groups, minorities and civil society members are excluded from the process, but the Afghan government as well has not been made the part of the process in the way it should have been made. The Afghan Presidential office, in this regard, has shown concerns every now and then. The serious minds, since the inception of the process, have rightly kept on emphasizing that the process should be made inclusive.

Jan Kubis, the top United Nations diplomat in Afghanistan, has also insisted that the reconciliation process must be made participatory and should include all the major parties to the conflict. On Thursday, March 01, 2012, he said, "Regarding what is our concrete role, first of all, we need to hear from Afghan parties what they would like us to do. But we will be more than ready to be a part of this process… What is important is that all Afghans and opposition groups should take part in the process… We are ready to be a part of the project and support it as much as we can… What will be happening will be closely monitored by the UN."

It is really important that the US and even Afghan authorities have to keep this important fact in consideration that if the reconciliation process with Taliban is not made inclusive, it would be really difficult for it to gain popularity and sustainability. If the root of the conflict in Afghanistan is not addressed, it is difficult to see peace and tranquility being achieved just through a dialogue process.

There is already a wide gap present between the Taliban and anti-Taliban elements in the country along with the growing disparity between the government and opposition groups. Moreover, there is distrust between the government and the people as well. Many of the Afghan people are not very much optimistic about the ongoing process and doubt that stability can be achieved after the international troops withdraw from the country. Many among them also believe that Taliban may ultimately come in power or a civil war may erupt in the country.

It is a crying need of time that the ambiguities and uncertainties should be minimized as much as possible and all the major parties in the basic Afghan conflict must not only be included in the process but the clashes among them must be resolved appropriately.
