"Significant progress made in Qatar" said by us envoy

The US and the Afghan Taliban have made "significant progress" in talks aimed at ending the 17-year-old conflict in Afghanistan, the US envoy has said. In a series of tweets, Zalmay Khalilzad did not give details but said the unprecedented six days of talks in Qatar were "more productive than they have been in the past". He said he was on his way to Kabul to consult Afghan government officials. Earlier, Taliban sources said the two sides had finalised a draft agreement. The deal calls for a withdrawal of foreign forces in return for assurances that al-Qaeda and the Islamic State (IS) group will not be allowed to use Afghanistan as a base, the sources said. Mr Khalilzad said talks with the Taliban would continue and that nothing had been finalised.

Immediate past governor of Imo State, Ikedi Ohakim moves to accord


 Immediate past governor of Imo State, Ikedi Ohakim, has again shifted base from the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA to Accord to actualise his plans for a second term. 


 Vanguard gathered Tuesday in Owerri that Ohakim who failed in his bid to obtain the governorship ticket of APGA now wants to actualise his ambition on the platform of Accord. Ohakim served as governor of Imo State between 2007 and 2011 and lost his second term bid to the incumbent, Owelle Rochas Okorocha. Ohakim was first elected on the platform of the Progressives Peoples Alliance, PPA and in 2009 he defected to his original party, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP. His failure to get the PDP governorship ticket upon the political ascendancy of Hon. Emeka Ihedioha had caused him to defect to APGA. While in 2015, Ohakim, stepped out again to try his return to government house, he was defeated in the contentious PDP, primaries where the former Deputy Speaker, Emeka Ihedioha, clinched the ticket. Two days ago it also emerged that Ohakim had again lost the governorship ticket and this time to Senator Ifeanyi Ararume from the same Imo North Senatorial district. The development Vanguard gathered spurred the former governor to go for Accord.

Nikki Bella reveals All About Her 5 Hour Long Date With The Bachelorette's Peter Kraus

Nikki bella  may be single and mingling, but it sounds like she had one stellar date with  Peter Kraus . As you surely saw, teasers for  Total Bellas  season 4 revealed that the WWE maven went on a date with  The Bachelorette  alum. Although the date seemingly didn't blossom into anything, the Bella Twin only had nice things to say about  Rachel Lindsay 's ex. "He is very good looking and a great guy—like super sweet, he's attentive, he pays attention to detail," the  Total Bellas star revealed exclusively to E! News. "He found out I loved black licorice, he showed up with black licorice. I was like, 'Whoa! That's amazing.'" And it appears that  Brie Bella  and  Daniel Bryan  were fans of Peter too…which makes sense since the mother of one arranged the date. Regardless, Bryan (who is often neutral about Nikki's suitors) found Peter very attractive and Brie was stunned at the length of their date. "He was...
