The Hill | Peace deal with US to be signed by months' end, Taliban says

The U.S. and Taliban will sign a peace deal by the end of the month, the Taliban reportedly said Monday.

Mullah Abdul Salam Hanafi, a senior Taliban leader, said in a video shared with journalists that “both sides have initiated the final draft of the peace agreement. Now talks are concluded,” according to The Washington Post.

“Both sides have agreed to sign the agreement by the end of this month” after making a “favorable environment before signing of the agreement,” Hanafi reportedly said.

It is the first formal statement released by the Taliban since the U.S. announced a peace deal on Friday.
