President Ashraf Ghani said the government was also ready to hold peace talks with the Taliban, seen as key to ending a nearly two-decade-long war in the impoverished country. “We hope this will eventually lead to a lasting peace that the people of Afghanistan so much desire and deserve.” Violence has escalated since the Taliban signed a deal with Washington in February to withdraw all US forces from the country by early next year.
