Afghanistan: Post-Trump Dilemmas For Peace And Security
[ABSTRACT: The perception that Post-Trump Administration in Washington may be inexorably sliding into a state of dysfunctionality, might have prompted the Afghan President Ashraf Ghani to hold out an olive branch to his Taliban opponents and make a peace-offer to them. How the Taliban will react is uncertain. They are disunited, but at the same time, gaining ground in battle. The peace-process will require greater calibration than what exists at this time between Kabul and Islamabad. So, as of now peace is not in sight and fighting is likely to continue. However, with the US interests and even capability on the wane, greater responsibility to end the conflict devolves on the regional leadership, if they are to avoid wider conflagrations, which will be to the benefit of none]
