New Delhi/Kabul, March 4 (TIWN) Since the US and Taliban inked their peace deal, Afghanistan has been fast heading towards greater instability and political turmoil.
While the violence has resumed at the same level as it was before February 21, when the week-long ‘reduction in violence’ pact between the US and Taliban came into effect, the Afghan government scheduled to begin its talks with the Taliban on March 10, is yet to announce its negotiating team.
Two days after the peace treaty was signed, the Afghan militant group ordered its members to launch terror attacks against the Afghanistan government. The Taliban after it got the go-ahead from its leadership, killed three people in a bomb blast on Monday and three civilians on Tuesday.
On Wednesday, Taliban launched 33 attacks in 17 provinces, killing over 16 soldiers and five civilians were killed amid the “reduction in violence” pact between the US and the Taliban.
As per the “peace treaty”, the US and Nato allies have agreed to withdraw all troops within 14 months if the Taliban fulfills its side of the deal. Around 5,000 Taliban prisoners and 1,000 Afghan security force prisoners are to be swapped by March 10.
