Until this weekend there had been steadily mounting expectations of a deal that would see the US drawdown troop levels in Afghanistan.But then on Saturday, September 7, Trump revealed on Twitter that he hadbetween the Taliban and himself at Camp David and later said the talks with the militants were"dead."
The Taliban spokesman's tweet comes just hours after the group launched a suicide attack that killed at least 4 soldiers near Kabul, as the insurgents ramp up attacks on security forces. The incident occurred at a special forces base in Char Asiab district just south of the capital Kabul where an insurgent driving a car packed with explosives detonated near the facility's entrance.Afghan special forces – numbering around 17,000 – represent a small fraction of the 300,000 strong Afghan armed forces but have been carrying out the bulk of offensive operations across Afghanistan in recent years.
As fears of increased violence soared with presidential elections approaching later this month, Afghan troops and Taliban insurgents have been engaged in heavy exchanges across Afghanistan, with several militant-controlled districts in the far north falling to government forces. However, the Taliban continue to strike Afghan installations at will after the militants issued their own vow earlier in the week to continue fighting and make the US regret walking away from talks. –
