Resumo

Up to now, there has been no ‘peace process’ in Afghanistan. There were years of ‘talks about talks’, and finally, in 2011, some preliminary contacts. In most of them, neither the Afghan government nor the HPC played a significant role. The contacts were organised by countries with troops in Afghanistan. There is a need to shift the paradigm and create a framework for a new approach, which prioritises Afghan problems and in which Afghans take decisions, are advised and protected by the international community.
