Afghanistan fear lost peace deal opportunity with Taliban

KABUL - Afghans on Sunday reacted with hope and confusion to the US President Donald Trump’s decision after he said in a series of tweets that Washington was calling off the talks with the Taliban following Thursday deadly bombing in Kabul that left at least 12 people dead including them one American soldier.
They urged the Taliban to swiftly agree on a ceasefire and resume the talks with the US side and the Afghan government.
But at the same time, there are serious concerns growing among the embattled Afghans that Trump’s move on the talks could further lead to the expansion of the war and violence by the Taliban that will take the lives of more civilians.
