On the other side, the onlycondition of the Taliban is that theclear timetable of foreign forces completewithdrawal from Afghanistan. Also, Afghan president Gani stressed that theywould void the outcome of the negotiations that excluded the electedgovernment. The American side gives themessage that the process continues with Gani's knowledge and support.After U.S. withdraw, the predictions that the Taliban canreturn to Kabul are pushing Washington to pursue peace talks and to accept theTaliban as a political reality is the defeat in any case for the United States.
