Donald Trump said on Sunday that he would personally sign a peace agreement with the Taliban if negotiations to end more than 18 years of war in Afghanistan succeeded.

A partial truce

" Yes.I would put my name on it, "said the American president, questioned by journalists on the lawn of the White House before his departure for New Delhi where he must make an official two -day visit.

Overall respected on its second day on Sunday, a partial truce came into force on Saturday for a week in Afghanistan, a condition set by the United States to agree to sign an agreement with the Taliban.This lull allowed the restart of mobile telephone networks in large sides of the territory controlled by the Taliban, which regularly put them out of service to prevent the detection of their fighters.

Negotiated for more than a year, this agreement, which must be signed on February 29 in Doha, will open the way to a gradual withdrawal from part of the 12,000 to 13,000 American soldiers who have been deployed in Afghanistan for eighteen years.The Taliban was chased from power in Afghanistan by an international coalition led by the United States after the September 11, 2001 attacks.

"I want to see how this one week's period is going," added President Trump."If it works for the rest of the week, I would put my name on it well.It's time to go home.And they want to stop.»»

Cette trêve partielle, ou « réduction des violences»», est censée démontrer la bonne volonté des insurgés islamistes avant la signature d’un accord avec Washington portant sur un retrait graduel des troupes américaines en échange notamment de garanties sécuritaires.

En cas de signature de l’accord, des discussions inter-afghanes doivent s’ouvrir, alors que les talibans refusent depuis 18 ans de négocier avec le gouvernement de Kaboul, qu’ils considèrent comme une « marionnette»» de Washington.
