US, Taliban ‘Likely To Sign Peace Deal’ Next Week | TOLOnews

A senior member of the Taliban, Mullah Khairullah Khairkhwah, says the US and the Taliban negotiators will likely sign the much-awaited peace agreement after Eid al-Adha -- at the end of this week.

In a recorded video published on Youtube, the Taliban member says the talks between the US and the group will continue after Eid al-Adha which ends on August 13.

He said that the peace deal between the US and the Taliban will be signed in the presence of representatives of the UN the Islamic Organization and regional countries after the return of the US Special Envoy Zalmay Khalilzad to Doha after Eid (August 14).

“Discussions on other issues such as intra-Afghan negotiations will be made after that [the signing of the peace deal],” he said.

I'm just surprised we have any real dealings with the Taliban, they seem to be totally terrorists. I understand the view of those who think we should be out of there. It's interesting that they are set to sign this after this Muslim holy day.
