The editorial
Source: The Times of India · 10 Sep 2019US exit now would have been akin to surrender and bad for regional peace.
After months of speculation, the Afghan peace talks are off. US President Donald Trump reportedly took the decision after Taliban claimed responsibility for a recent attack in Kabul that killed an American soldier. Backchannel negotiations between the US and Afghan Islamists had been going on since late last year. And in recent weeks the two sides had hinted at a framework peace deal that entailed the US effecting a partial pull out of troops and vacating three Afghan bases in exchange for Taliban’s promise to sever ties with al-Qaida and not allow Afghan soil to be used for attacks against the US and its allies.
