Delay of jirga: a matter of concern? Afghanistan's planned peace jirga has been unexpectedly postponed. During the three day meeting, some 1,300 delegates were supposed to set out a concrete plan to reach a national consensus for talking with the Taliban.
A jirga (occasionally jirgah) (Pashto: جرګه) is a tribal assembly of elders which takes decisions by consensus, particularly among the Pashtun people but also in other ethnic groups near them; they are most common in Afghanistan and among the Pashtuns in Pakistan near its border with Afghanistan and are even held by Pashtuns in Kashmir valley, India.[1] It is similar to that of a town meeting in the United States or a regional assembly in England, where important regional matters are addressed among the people of the area.
