Afghanistan's government on Wednesday expressed new concerns about a deal that a U.S. envoy says has been reached"in principle" with the Taliban on ending America's longest war, asking for clarifications about the agreement and its risks in order to avoid"unpleasant consequences."
"Some of the details of the US-TB agreement need serious debate and revision," Afghan presidential adviser Waheed Omer said on Twitter, without elaborating. The Taliban, at their strongest since their 2001 defeat by a U.S.-led invasion, want all of the approximately 20,000 U.S. and NATO troops out of Afghanistan immediately, while the U.S. seeks a withdrawal in phases that would depend on the Taliban meeting certain conditions such as a reduction in violence.
