The US-Taliban peace deal is supposed to be followed by intra-Afghan talks, in which the Afghans from all sides will shape their future through political lens. Though, the Afghans hope the deal will put an end to the war, but still there is concern over possible breakdown of the deal, taking the note of current political situation, where the leaders are lacking a monolithic state.

If the Taliban continue their violence, it means the Taliban are not doing Jihad, rather they are killing innocent Afghan masses as they already said war is ended with Americans. The Taliban time and again said they are fighting against occupation, but it is ended. Both sides are Afghans and it could be crime not Jihad. Time has ripped to embrace each other and bring peace to a country where it is people deserve after long years of war.
