Trump abruptly called off talks with the insurgent group, which vows to continue it’s fight against what it calls ‘foreign occupation’

Resolute Support forces inspect the site of a car bomb explosion in Kabul, Afghanistan, on Sept. 5, 2019.Afghans braced for a possible new wave of Taliban violence on Monday after President Donald Trump abruptly called off talks with the insurgent group, which vows to continue its fight against what it calls “foreign occupation.”

It was not immediately clear whether the U.S.-Taliban talks will resume and when on ending nearly 18 years of fighting.Afghan President Ashraf Ghani, whose government was sidelined in the U.S.-Taliban talks, again declared that his country was ready to meet with the Taliban but that “negotiation without a ceasefire is not possible.”

The streets of the capital, Kabul, were largely empty as armed supporters of Massoud, a rare Afghan unifying figure who was killed two days before the 9/11 attacks, waved flags from circling vehicles, at times firing into the air in a show of power despite a government warning that they could face arrest.

Also Monday a roadside bomb blast wounded three civilians, said Firdaus Faramarz, spokesman for the city’s police chief. The target was unknown, he said, and there was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack. The local affiliate of the Islamic State group also carries out attacks in the capital, often targeting the minority Shiite community. The blast was not in a predominantly Shiite area.

Trump cancels secret meeting with Taliban, Afghan leadersU.S. President Donald Trump said Saturday he cancelled a secret weekend meeting at Camp David with Taliban and Afghanistan leaders after a bombing this week in Kabul that killed 11 people, including an American soldier, and has called off peace negotiations with the insurgent group. Not likely Trump lies. He never had a meeting scheduled. It would cut into his golf time. Does Trump mind Canada becoming a base for Isis that can allow them to attack the USA? 'Justin Trudeau tells Hamilton town hall Canadians can feel safe despite returning ISIS fighters.'

This is why I teach my children not to lie. Even if they are telling the truth in a specific instance, I wouldn't know because I don't trust anything they say. As the morons in media were busy with SHARPIE GATE, Pres. Trump was busy trying to find a solution to the middle east and the Taliban. But the hatred these people have towards western civilization, I guess it's war they shall have. uspoli cdnpoli pnpcbc UKpolitics auspol polcan eupol nzpol CTVpp NoWarsForIsrael NoWarOnIran Serbia sold weapons to US Military Suppliers who told Serbia were going to Afghanistan's police & Military.
