The Afghan government expressed doubts Wednesday about a prospective deal between the US and the Taliban, saying officials need more information about the risks it poses.
US special envoy Zalmay Khalilzad was in
Kabul this week, when he shared with Afghan officials an agreement "in principle" that
Washington has forged with the
Taliban and would lead to a pull-out of
American troops.
The prospect of a US-Taliban deal has caused much concern among many Afghans, who feel sidelined from the process, worry the hardline Islamists will return to power, and see a beaten America selling out their interests in a bid to escape
Afghanistan after 18 years of gruelling war.
