The U.S. and the Taliban terror group today (February 29, 2020) signed a deal that lays out conditions for the withdrawal of U.S. and NATO troops from Afghanistan, according to the RT website.
The agreement was signed by U.S. peace envoy for Afghanistan, Zalmay Khalilzad, and one of the Taliban's senior leaders, Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, in Qatar's capital of Doha today.
The deal will see Washington and its allies withdrawing their troops from five bases in Afghanistan within the next 135 days. The remaining American soldiers will leave the country in 14 months, if the Taliban fulfills its commitments.
The war in Afghanistan -- which began shortly after the 9/11/ 2001 terrorist attacks in the U.S. -- has become the longest war in U.S. history!
