Hundreds of U.S. troops have begun withdrawing from Afghanistan in line with the U.S. commitments announced in the recent U.S.-Taliban peace deal.
American service members are leaving Afghanistan, with no troops planned to replace them in the country, the Associated Press reported Monday following conversations with an unnamed U.S. military official. The withdrawal comes even as uncertainty persists around the Taliban peace agreement, as well as political upheaval within the Afghan government.
Last week, U.S. military officials signaled early trouble with the peace agreement, after the Taliban carried out a series of attacks on Afghan forces throughout the country. At the time, Taliban leaders ordered their fighters to resume operations against the Afghan government. U.S. forces launched a defensive airstrike to help the Afghan forces repel one Taliban attack on a security checkpoint in Helmand.
