U.S., Afghanistan And Taliban Announce 7-Day 'Reduction In Violence' »

npr:

Afghan forces, the U.S.-led coalition in Afghanistan and the Taliban militia will begin a seven-day “reduction in violence” across the country beginning Saturday midnight local time (2:30 p.m. ET Friday) — a possible prelude to a broader peace deal following two decades of war, according to U.S. and Afghan officials.

The quasi cease-fire was hammered out during protracted negotiations in Qatar that began in 2018. It could ultimately lead to a significant reduction of the approximately 12,000 U.S. troops in Afghanistan.
