The Taliban says it has agreed to a temporary cease-fire nationwide, opening a window during which a peace deal with the United States may be signed.
The Taliban said Sunday it had agreed to a temporary cease-fire nationwide. The cease-fire provides a window during which a peace agreement with the United States may be signed.
The Taliban chief must approve the agreement, but that is expected. The duration of the cease-fire was not specified, but it was being suggested it would last for 10 days. A key pillar of the agreement, which the U.S. and Taliban have been hammering out for more than a year, is direct negotiations between Afghans on both sides of the conflict.
