(WASHINGTON) — The war in Afghanistan is not ending. U.S. forces will no longer be part of it, but that will likely make the fighting worse in the months to come, according to some analysts.
A senior U.S. administration official told reporters during a briefing Tuesday that President Joe Biden’s administration will put the “full weight of our government behind diplomatic efforts to reach a peace agreement between the Taliban and the Afghan government.”
Those “diplomatic efforts” are stalled at best, dead at worst.
The Taliban’s spokesperson tweeted Tuesday that the group will not participate in any negotiations “until all foreign forces completely withdraw from our homeland.”
