| Afghanistan War

The US and Taliban sign the Agreement for Bringing Peace to Afghanistan in Doha, Qatar. The US agrees to withdraw all forces within 14 months if the Taliban meets commitments including not hosting terrorist groups, beginning intra-Afghan peace talks, and reducing violence. The Afghan government is not a signatory and reacts with outrage. The deal commits the US to releasing 5,000 Taliban prisoners.
