Afghanistan President Ghani tells Washington envoy to share details of draft peace deal between US and Taliban with all Afghan leaders - presidential spokesman

President Ashraf Ghani meets with US special representative for Afghanistan Zalmay Khalilzad in Kabul, Afghanistan. September 2, 2019.

The US military will pull its troops from five bases in Afghanistan if the Taliban honour their end of a proposed deal, Zalmay Khalilzad, who is leading negotiations between the two foes, said on Monday. Ghani's government has been shut out of the talks as the militants refuse to recognise it, dismissing it as a US puppet.

We are at the threshold of an agreement that will reduce violence and open the door for Afghans to sit together to negotiate an honorable & sustainable peace and a unified, sovereign Afghanistan that does not threaten the United States, its allies, or any other country.Khalilzad said on the weekend final agreement was close.

Ongoing clashes have blocked the main highway leading to the capital Kabul as Taliban militants are on the run from Puli Khumri city, said Feroz Bashari, director of the government media and information centre, in a series of tweets.
