The US and the Taliban have signed a “comprehensive peace agreement”
to end fighting in Afghanistan after more than eighteen years of conflict.
The US and Nato allies have agreed to withdraw all troops within fourteen months if the militants uphold the deal.
President Trump said the US was working to finally end America’s longest war and bring its troops back home.
Talks between the Afghan government and the Taliban are due to follow.
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and leaders of the hardline Islamic movement attended the signing ceremony in Doha in Qatar.
Under the agreement, the militants also agreed not to allow al-Qaeda or any other extremist group to operate in the areas they control.
