The political situation in Afghanistan remains deeply uncertain.

The Taliban warned journalists to stop giving “one-sided news in support of Afghanistan's intelligence" service or "face the consequences."

Since the U.S.-Taliban peace deal, Afghan casualties -- both military and civilian -- have soared. That bodes ill for the future.

By all available evidence, the Taliban remain a group of militants whose primary driver is the imposition of their extremist ideology.

The Biden administration hoped to take a shortcut to peace in Afghanistan with one more big conference. It won’t work.

The one-day conference last week is part of a larger effort by regional powers to make peace between the Afghan government and the Taliban.

TAPI has long been hailed as a monumentally important project – but it's unclear whether it will ever be built.

Sher Mohammed Abbas Stanikzai, who led the Taliban delegation to Moscow,  insisted that the Taliban have been abiding by the deal.

Escalating violence has all sides pointing the finger at each other as negotiations between the Afghan government and the Taliban resume.

Despite ongoing peace negotiations, the Taliban continue their attacks, recently incorporating weaponized commercially available drones into their arsenal.

Violence remains high in Afghanistan as negotiators take a break. Talks are expected to resume in early January.
