Published on: Monday 29 April 2019
Thousands of politicians from across Afghanistan gathered amid tight security in Kabul on Monday to discuss the war and US efforts to forge a peace deal with the Taliban.
More than 3,000 people were invited to the rare "loya jirga", which is being billed as the largest in modern Afghan history, in a bid to set possible conditions under which they might accept a peace settlement.
