It has been a year since the US and the Taliban reached a historic agreement in Doha to end Washington’s longest-ever military campaign. It helped lay out a timeline for withdrawal and laid out binding conditions for peace on the Taliban.

Without a deal between Kabul and the Taliban, the Doha deal is meaningless in terms of achieving peace in Afghanistan.
