Afghan Forces, Taliban Face Off in 17 Provinces after Peace Deal |
2020-03-04 |
[ToloNews] A fresh spate of violence kicked off in at least seventeen Afghan provinces on Tuesday, a day after the Taliban![]() students... announced they would resume military operations against the Afghan cops. The Afghan Ministry of Interior said there were 33 attacks by the Taliban and at least six non-combatants were killed in the past 24 hours. The fighting between the two sides comes days after a weekslong Reduction in Violence (RIV) and a peace deal signed by the United States and the Taliban on Saturday. The peace deal outlined terms for the withdrawal of US and coalition forces from Afghanistan in exchange for a number of solid assurances by the Taliban, including that they cut ties to al-Qaeda and prevent Afghanistan from becoming a safe haven for terrorist groups. The deal, signed in Doha, coincided with a joint Afghan-US declaration in Kabul that mirrored the Doha deal in laying out plans for intra-Afghan talks and an eventual ceasefire. |

#7 I don't want US troops there, but I wouldn't be opposed to a few B-52 strikes if opportunity presents itself on our way out. Just a reminder that we can't nation build cultural failures into a real nation but we can slaughter better than anyone in history. |

#6 I thought it was Saudis that were at the controls. Sure, but Al Qaeda had been sheltered in Afghanistan by the ruling Taliban ever since they fled Sudan. |

#2 Praise Allah Herb! It's not as if the plague of fundamentalist Muslims there tried to murder 50,000 human Americans on 9-11. Right? On the other hand it was definitely the evil Christian West the inspired Muhammad's 610 AD call for global jihad. Right Herb? |

#1 Whew! So glad this doesn't concern us any more! The Afghan "government" was always a joke. They're an easy price to pay to get out of there. The whole of Afghanistan isn't worth a single more American's life. Not one more. |
