President Donald Trump says U.S.-Taliban talks on ending the war in Afghanistan are “dead,” deeply unfortunate wording for the Afghan civilians who have been killed by the tens of thousands over almost 18 years.
President Donald Trump says the U.S.-Taliban talks on ending the fighting in Afghanistan are “dead,” deeply unfortunate wording for the Afghan civilians who have been killed by the tens of thousands over almost 18 years. Many fear his cancellation of negotiations will bring more carnage as the U.S. and Taliban, as well as Afghan forces, step up their offensives and everyday people die in the crossfire.
The idea that Trump in a series of tweets over the weekend would call off a deal on the brink of completion, citing the Taliban’s killing of a U.S. service member in another Kabul blast last week, has struck many Afghans as incomprehensible. The collective deaths, in the hundreds of thousands, are being remembered in Martyrs’ Week that continues through Sunday. Across Afghanistan, fresh graves are dug every day. And all sides — the Taliban, U.S. and Afghan forces — are to blame.
The Afghan defense ministry’s deputy spokesman, Fawad Aman, confirmed on Tuesday that offensives against the Taliban have increased across the country in recent days. And after an air raid was blamed in the deaths of seven family members in Maidan Wardak province this week, the Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Commission said that “such inattention and carelessness on the part of the international military forces would result in people’s wrath and anger” and urged Afghan officials to investigate why such events repeatedly occur.
