KABUL/WASHINGTON/PESHAWAR, Pakistan - The United States and the Taliban will sign an agreement on Feb. 29 at the end of a planned week-long “reduction in violence” in Afghanistan, U.S. officials and the Taliban said on Friday, stirring fresh hopes for an end to the protracted conflict.
The reduction in violence , to be observed by Afghan, international and Taliban forces, will begin at midnight on Friday, Afghan President Ashraf Ghani said in a televised address. The agreement will be signed in Doha between Taliban representatives and U.S. special envoy Zalmay Khalilzad, who has been leading the United States’ negotiation team, a senior State Department official told journalists.
“We hope the reduction in violence is extended for a longer time and opens the way for a ceasefire and intra-Afghan talks,” Javid Faisal, spokesperson for the Afghan National Security Adviser, told Reuters. Afghan forces will keep up normal military operations against other groups such as Islamic State during the period, Afghan spokesman Faisal said.“Local government and security officials have been instructed by the president himself on how to follow the regulations agreed upon for the RIV period,” he said.Taliban says agreement with U.S. to be signed February 29 in front of international observers
All this shit happens during elections, terrorist attacks in Britain (during elections), Israel’s deal of the century (during elections and bibis corruption scandal), agreement between taliban (US elections) anyone who actually follows this shit is literally a bigot.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 this is just stupid on so many different levels. 1) Who is signing on behalf of taliban? 2) what if either party doesn’t comply with said agreement? What they going to do? Fight? 😂 There’s no repercussions for anyone.
Good luck with that.
Interesting....
The agreement will face great challenges .. not because of the Americans or the Taliban but the government itself because it believes that the Taliban will be a staunch opponent in returning to rule The country again
bullshit deal.
Does Pompeo know Feb 29th is actually a real day this year?
Ronald Reagan would never make a deal with terrorists.
Khasogghi. Russia.
Let's see how that holds up. Recall Kissinger signed an agreement with the North Vietnamese
See, the administration keeps trying to shove these peace deals down people's throats for measurable wins ahead of the election. All actions by the Taliban indicate they're not on board with the terms of the agreement. Don't be fooled.

Where was the actual government of Afghanistan during all this? Oh. Right.
As a result of their own behavior, Anything this administration does is subject to suspicion of being rooted in corrupt intent for IMPEACHED Trump. Pompeo needs to stay in background b/c he's lost any cred & is obviously a weak leader but sycophant follower who cannot be trusted.
Please. Pimpeo is a joke.
Hehe
So in 10 minutes.... wait for it... we have a week to go and it's over?
