On 29 February, the US and the Taliban concluded a peace agreement in the Qatari capital of Doha, which stipulates the withdrawal of foreign armed forces from Afghanistan in return for the Taliban's pledge to prevent the country from becoming a haven for terrorist groups.
The Taliban is currently involved in the intra-Afghan talks with Kabul, which are taking place in Doha as well.
