Sources say Taliban is open to 10-day ceasefire with US and talks with Afghan government

Kabul/Peshawar — The Taliban will implement a 10-day ceasefire with US troops, a reduction in violence with Afghan forces and discussions with Afghan government officials if it reaches an agreement with US negotiators in talks in Doha, two sources have said.

The talks between the two sides were “useful” and would continue for a few days, the spokesperson, Suhail Shaheen, said in a tweet early on Friday. However, two sources close to the matter told Reuters on Wednesday that the Taliban’s top leadership had discussed and agreed to implement a 10-day ceasefire with US troops once an agreement was signed with US officials in Doha, and “reduce” attacks against the Afghan government as well.
