Kabul, January 29 (RHC)-- U.S. and Taliban officials have agreed to a framework for a peace deal in Afghanistan, with the U.S. touting “significant progress” at peace talks in Qatar over the past week.
The eventual agreement could lead to a full pullout of U.S. troops and a Taliban ceasefire, and open up dialogue between the Taliban and the Afghan government. Afghan President Ashraf Ghani supported removing the U.S. military presence from the country, saying on Monday that his government’s goal was to bring down the number of foreign troops to zero.
