The Taliban said it has agreed to a temporary cease-fire across Afghanistan, creating a window of opportunity to hash out details of possible peace talks toward ending an 18-year-long war with the United States, according to reports.
The ruling council confirmed the cease-fire to The Associated Press over the weekend. The head of the Taliban, Mawlawi Hibatullah Akhundzada, hasn’t approved the deal, although AP reported that it’s expected.
