US--Taliban Agree on an Afghanistan Peace Plan; US to Remove Troops, Taliban to End Terrorism

The United States and the Taliban have agreed on a plan for American troops to leave Afghanistan, sources privy to the peace move told the VOA News website today (January 26, 2019).

In return, the Taliban has given assurances that no international terrorist groups would be allowed to use Afghan soil to threaten America or any other country in the future.

The agreement is the outcome of nearly a week of intense and uninterrupted dialogue between U.S. and insurgent representatives in Doha, Qatar. Representatives of the host government and Pakistan have also been in attendance.

The sources told VOA they expected the two negotiating sides to announce the withdrawal plan within the next few days, if all goes as planed.
