US Taliban Talks: Will the US and the Taliban Deal With Matters?

According to all the signals received by the annual security conference in the German city of Munich, the United States and the Taliban are probably days away from announcing a peace deal.
This potential pact will pave the way for the peace talks between the Afghan government and the Taliban while the US withdraws its troops from Afghanistan.

In this way, America's longest-running war may end and President Trump, who is participating in the crucial presidential election again, can deliver on his promise to bring American troops home.
Much is at stake for the United States and the Trump administration. But more things than America are at stake for Afghanistan.
The entire political future of Afghanistan is at stake. What remains to be seen is what kind of government ultimately wins in Afghanistan.
But before we talk about the final deal, a lot of questions are already being raised. For example, will this be a comprehensive peace treaty for Afghanistan and will it apply to the entire country?
Or will this be just an agreement that gives Americans a chance to get out of Afghanistan?
There may be both options. But it may also be that Americans use this agreement to get out of there rather than get a perfect peace deal for Afghanistan.
Details of pending matters are still limited. But the history of the potential deal has come to a close.

During the Munich Conference, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Afghan President Ashraf Ghani met informally.
After that, a senior US official settled part of the deal. A seven-day ceasefire agreement between the United States and the Taliban will come into force soon and lead to the withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan.
The official said all Afghan peace talks will take place within 10 days of the initial agreement on the reduction of violence, which will apply to the entire country.
Later, US Secretary of Defense Mark Asper said that 'a significant part of our operations' would be suspended in Afghanistan, but added that 'it was not yet time' and added that more consultations were needed to determine the date of the peace agreement. Need
This is a very important step. The negotiations seem to be very detailed. It also includes violence against US and Afghan forces, and US officials say there are details of these violent incidents.
There will be a communication system between the United States and the Taliban that will take into account that violence can be triggered by another source, and every violent incident will need to be explained.
In fact, there are monitoring and validation clauses throughout the entire process.
In the long run, the Taliban have agreed not to host, train or raise funds for international terrorists in their control areas.

Talks between the Taliban and the Afghan government will begin with a 'permanent and comprehensive' ceasefire.
So far, everything sounds fine, but there are already some indications that something may be wrong.

It is not yet clear who the US is talking to and who the US is talking to, whether they represent the Taliban at all or not.
Afghanistan has a wide range of weapons that can cause trouble at any time.
So can any peace process survive them?
It is not yet clear where Pakistan stands in this peace process.
We also do not know at what speed the US troops will be evacuated and what will happen to them?
Will there be some baby turtles in US troops in Afghanistan? US officials are hoping that no such army will be needed.
But perhaps the biggest question is, can the Taliban be confident that they will play their role in a deal?
And once the US leaves Afghanistan, will they honor a wider deal in Afghanistan?
If the Taliban violated any US sanctions, what US sanctions would apply to them?
But we're probably thinking too far. Americans are only hoping that there is a quick and early indication of the Taliban's seriousness.
If the Taliban did not take any violent action for a week, they would be part of the peace process. Many US analysts fear President Trump is hastening to withdraw troops from Afghanistan for political reasons.
Some Americans will be saddened to see the end of the longest-running war campaign.
But we cannot be more optimistic about the time to come.
Earlier this week, veteran US defense expert Tony Cordesman expressed concern that the peace that President Trump is seeking is a "Vietnamization" of the US withdrawal of the Shahid - the United States in ending the Vietnam War in the 1950s. Problems encountered by

He added that "there are many signs that make it clear that this peace effort will give the US withdrawal a political ring just as the United States has dealt with Vietnam in the name of a peace treaty."
