US presents warring Afghan sides with draft peace agreement – By Kathy Gannon (The Associated Press) / Mar 9 2021
KABUL, Afghanistan — Frustrated by a stalled peace process and escalating violence, the U.S. has presented an eight-page draft peace agreement to Afghanistan’s warring sides for review.
The U.S. told the parties to come to Turkey in the coming weeks ready to move on it, according to Afghans on both sides of the table.
The draft was obtained by The Associated Press on Monday. The document outlines the terms of a cease-fire and its enforcement, calls for the protection of the rights of women, children and minorities and envisions a truth and reconciliation commission aimed at healing 42 years of conflict.
There was no immediate comment from the United States.
