The U.S. deal with Taliban leaves the Afghan individuals at the grace of violent, tribal Islamists

The offer signed in between the U.S. and the Taliban in Doha on Saturday sets the phase for America to wind down the longest war in its history. It went into Afghanistan in October 2001, a couple of weeks after the 9/11 fear attacks, with the goals of defeating terrorists and restoring and stabilising the central Asian country. Practically 19 years later on, the U.S. looks for to leave Afghanistan with assurances from the Taliban that the insurgents will not allow Afghan soil to be used by transnational terrorist groups such as al-Qaeda and that they would engage the Kabul government straight to find a lasting service to the civil war.
