The peace deal would have the US withdraw its troops from Afghanistan in return for insurgent guarantees. This peace agreement is a very important step towards peace for the country and a great opportunity.

These negotiations have been in works for a long time now and hit a block last year in September 2019 when a US soldier was killed by the Taliban and US President Trump called off any peace talks with the Taliban.

Pakistan has played a major role in getting both sides to talk and now finally, the agreement is set to be signed that will not only benefit Afghanistan but also neighboring Pakistan.
