After more than a year of direct negotiations, the U.S. government and the Taliban signed a peace agreement on February 29, 2020, that sets a timeline for the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Afghanistan. Under the agreement, the United States will draw down U.S. forces to approximately 8,500 troops within 135 days and complete a full withdrawal within fourteen months. In return, the Taliban pledged to prevent territory under their control from being used by terrorist groups and enter into negotiations with the Afghan government in March 2020. The agreement was signed following a seven-day reduction in violence, a period which required the Taliban to adhere to a “significant and nationwide” reduction in violence, and also required that U.S. and Afghan forces refrain from targeting Taliban-controlled areas of the country.

Despite this new agreement, there is still no official cease-fire in place. Throughout 2019 and into 2020, violence continued across Afghanistan as the United States increased air strikes and raids targeting the Taliban, while the Taliban continued to carry out attacks on Afghan government targets, make territorial gains, and target Afghan National Defense and Security Forces (ANDSF) bases and outposts. The Taliban have also carried out high-profile attacks across the country, including in Kabul. After the reduction in violence period ended, the Taliban quickly resumed attacks on Afghan security forces and civilians.

Prospects for negotiations between the Afghan government and the Taliban remain uncertain. The onset of negotiations is also subject to delay or disruption due to a disagreement on the timing of the release of five thousand Taliban prisoners. The Taliban expects the prisoners to be released before talks can begin, while the Afghan government plans to release the prisoners after the negotiations start. The Afghan government itself remains divided after a contentious election, further complicating prospects for the talk. In February 2020, the Independent Election Commission declared President Ashraf Ghani the winner of the September 2019 presidential election; his main rival and current Chief Executive Officer Abdullah Abdullah rejected the results, declared himself the winner, and held a parallel inauguration ceremony in March 2020.

Over the eighteen months, the Islamic State in Khorasan has also continued to expand its presence in several eastern Afghan provinces, continues to carry out major attacks in Kabul, and is responsible for an increase in suicide attacks targeting civilians.

What an utter waste of our 'treasure' [and effort] it has been.

Afghanistan, since 2002.



Because we ['The Coalition' nations] didn't know how to punish them.    [ISLAMIST's, 'in situ'.]

And that [punishing them, 'in situ'] is what we should have concentrated all of our energies upon.

And [thereby] concentrated the whole of their [the ISLAMIST's] attention and focus upon.



And, its only going to get worse, for us.

Because we still have LEFTIST dreamers [i.e. political Marxists] in the West, directing policy, in the fight against militants who follow ISLAM.



The militants who follow ISLAM, have their conflict 'playbook' [and they have had their conflict 'playbook' for centuries!].

And they know that their conflict 'playbook' tactics will always work, against a stronger [but ignorant] infidel enemy.

@ Reply #5,

You are mistaken.    [aka, confused]



Nothing was 'stolen',    .....nothing could have been stolen.

The article of which you speak, was a gift, to all of the children of the Most High.

It is a gift, to those who are the children of the Most High.

And no one had that 'article', as an article of 'possession', except the Most High.

And HE, bestows it, upon whomever he will.

so after all that they're giving it back to the Taliban



what a waste of lives

'Moslem Lions' ?    ha!

Such creatures can achieve nothing of any substance.

They are destroyers.

Nothing more.



jasin,

You worship an idol.                  ....you worship ISLAM.

Pity, for such as yourself.





....the word of the LORD has spoken it.



Isaiah 45:16
They shall be ashamed, and also confounded, all of them: they shall go to confusion together that are makers of idols.
17  But Israel shall be saved in the LORD with an everlasting salvation: ye shall not be ashamed nor confounded world without end.



All idols 'speak' of their [own] makers.                  ....liars, one and all.

That simply sounds, to me, like the utterings of superior Marxist culture, revealing your justified [i.e. superior] cultural imperialism.

A wish affirmation, of your superior Marxist culture, comrade ?

Quote:


Logically, such an ignorant and absurd assertion to make !

Revealing a confused and 'hive' [directed] thought process.

Why ignorant and why absurd ?

Because ISLAM does not 'unite' with anything, which is not ISLAM.

Ask any follower of ISLAM [who isn't 'spinning'].

Quote:


That is what the atheists say.

They said, too, that gays and queer women only wanted to have the right to marry and to 'be accepted'.

Today, gays and queer women and atheists, are revealing that their social militancy, intends to demand social supremacy [for themselves, and for their superior Marxist, LEFTIST, cultural 'bent'].

Cultural Marxism wants to rule society, led by their justified [i.e. superior] cultural imperialism.

"Ve are de Master Culture!      Ve, are de people!"
"Ve are making better vorlds."

Just another militant 'Islam', with a different 'hive' mind, directing an 'activist class' process,
until their certain victory.

"Get out of Europe, you religionists!"

The Jasins of the world are a very confused and misdirected, subset [or perhaps a 'majority'].

But in their own mind, they were born to be 'intellectually' superior.

And they were born, to snatch political power away from all of those capitalist tyrants who rule now !

You know its true.
