The fact is that Donald Trump wants to withdraw his troops from Afghanistan, and given the power of Afghan-born Zalmay Khalilzad, he has a task to do. That too soon - until September. The Taliban, on the other hand, have a point to take. They want to declare a withdrawal from US forces and come face to face with the winner, and the United States is providing them with a fee to save them.
Earlier, the Americans were insisting that their forces depart in three years, while the Taliban were in Egypt for six months. Now, it seems that twelve months will be agreed. The Taliban has accepted the demand from the United States that the regular army will withdraw, but will remain in the form of American intelligence and contractor.
On the other hand, the Americans have made their withdrawal step-by-step, subject to various actions by the Taliban. Initially, the US insisted that inter-Afghan talks should accompany it, but the Taliban did not agree. Afghan President Dr Ashraf Ghani, on the other hand, was in Egypt for presidential elections before any deal with the Taliban,Therefore, his approach to the Taliban's indirect negotiations with the Afghan government in Moscow and Qatar was offensive, rather than spicy.
Thus, only the United States and the Taliban are being dealt with, and the United States believes that the future political system will be decided by negotiating with them, rather than by Afghans. The fact is, however, that much of the time between the United States and the Taliban has been negotiated with regard to future political structures. The Taliban were previously demanding the restoration of their Islamic Emirate and Amir al-mu'minin's position, but now there is a middle ground agreed upon in the case of the Iranian model.
The fact is that the US did not seem to have a consensus on the political structure in the Taliban talks and feared the failure of the negotiation process, so now things like agreeing on the interfaith dialogue and the political structure are left in the future. Is being contracted by. It is said that the inter-Afghan negotiation clause will be part of the agreement and that the United States and Pakistan, in particular, while some other countries will play the role of facilitator in general and that is certainly the really difficult step, but as far as the US and the Taliban are concerned The basic points have been agreed upon. Now Zalmay Khalilzad is taking the Afghan government and neighboring countries into confidence with the draft.
While the Taliban talks to the field commanders and their sympathizers. As soon as the parties have completed this agreement, regular agreements will be signed. The US-Taliban agreement is a huge success for Taliban and US President Donald Trump, but is it also a success for Afghanistan and the countries affected by the situation, especially Pakistan? For my part, this question cannot be answered in the affirmative.
The reason is that as easy as the Taliban and US deals are, the inter-Afghan deal will be as difficult.
