1/4 Following several meetings General Miller and I had with the Taliban, we agreed to re-set actions by strictly adhering to implementation of all elements of the U.S.-Taliban Agreement and all commitments made.

2/4 This means reduced numbers of operations. At present too many Afghans are dying. With the re-set, we expect that number to drop significantly.

3/4 Attacks have been on the rise in recent weeks - threatening the peace process and alarming the Afghan people and their regional and international supporters.

4/4 We will do our part and will monitor implementation actively. All parties must deliver on their responsibilities. We thank our international partners for their assistance and support.

۱/۴ – له طالبانو سره د جنرال میلر او زما له څو غونډو وروسته، موږ توافق وکړ چې د متحدو ایالتونو-طالبانو توافقلیک د ټولو برخو او د ټولو شویو ژمنو پلتیا سره جدي مطابقت لپاره، اقدامات بیا-سم کړو.

۲/۴– دا د عملیاتو د شمیر د لږولو مانا ورکوي. اوسمهال خورا ډیر افغانان مري.‌ له بیا-سمون سره، موږ تمه لرو چې پدغه شمیر کې د پام وړ کمښت راشي.

۳/۴– له تیرو اونیو راهیسې بریدونه مخ په ډیریدو دي چې د سولې بهیر ګواښوي او افغانان او د هغوي سیمیز او نړیوال ملاتړي اندیښمنوي.

۴/۴ – موږ به خپله برخه ترسره کړو او په فعاله توګه به د تطبیق څار وکړو. ټولې خواوې باید خپل مسؤلیتونه ترسره کړي. موږ له خپلو نړیوالو شریکانو نه د هغوي د مرستو او ملاتړ له کبله مننه کوو.

۱/۴ – بدنبال چندین ملاقات جنرال میلر و من با طالبان، ما توافق نمودیم که در مطابقت جدی با تطبیق تمام عناصر توافقنامه ایالات متحده و طالبان و تمام تعهدات ارائه شده، اقدامات را دوباره-مرتب سازیم.

۲/۴– این به معنی کاهش شمار عملیات ها است. در حال حاضر، شمار زیاد افغانها می میرند. با دوباره-مرتب ساختن، ما انتظار داریم که این شمار به گونهء قابل ملاحظه کاهش یابد.

۳/۴– در هفته های اخیر حملات رو به افزایش بوده اند که روند صلح را تهدید نموده و هشداری است برای افغانها و حامیان منطقه‌‌ی و بین المللی آنها.

۴/۴ – ما سهم خود را انجام خواهیم داد و فعالانه از تطبیق نظارت خواهیم کرد. تمام طرف ها باید مسؤلیت هایشانرا ادا نمایند. ما از شرکای بین المللی ما به خاطر کمک و حمایت شان تشکر می‌کنیم.

@ashrafghani

1/6 President @ashrafghani is in Doha at Qatar's invitation. General Miller and I had an opportunity to meet with him and discuss the latest on the #AfghanistanPeaceNegotiations.

2/6 General Miller and I affirmed ongoing U.S. support to Afghanistan, our partnership, and a peace process meant to produce a political settlement and an end to decades of war.

3/6 I told the President Afghans should not let the opportunity for peace to slip away. He said he supports the Islamic Republic negotiators doing their work as long as it takes. I said I’m encouraged by what I heard from all sides, including the two teams’ commitment to peace.

1/6 We welcome the Afghan Loya Jirga’s declaration and President Ghani’s decision to sign the decree ordering the release of the remaining prisoners.

2/6 With these bold steps, after 40 years of war, a historic opportunity for peace is now possible; one that benefits all Afghans and contributes to regional stability and global security.

3/6 In the next few days, we expect the completion of prisoner releases, then travel of the Islamic Republic team to Doha, & from there the immediate start of intra-Afghan negotiations.

1/4 The last 24 hours have been very violent in Afghanistan with many losing their lives.

In Herat, photos and eyewitness accounts suggest many civilians including children are among the victims of an Afghan airstrike. We condemn the attack and support an investigation.

2/4 Similarly, we deplore the recent Taliban attacks in which many Afghans have lost their lives.

3/4 The Afghan people want an immediate start of peace negotiations and a settlement that is in their best interest. More graves will not bring negotiations forward.

We have reached Day 135, a key milestone in implementation of the U.S.-Taliban Agreement. The U.S. has worked hard to carry out the 1st phase of its commitments under the Agreement, including to reduce forces & depart five bases. NATO troops have come down in proportional numbers

There has been major progress, albeit slow, on prisoner releases. The Taliban & the Islamic Republic negotiating teams have made progress on logistics for intra-Afghan talks. No American has lost his/her life in Afghanistan to Taliban violence. Regional relations have improved.

But more progress is needed on counter terrorism.

(1/5) #EidMubarak to all who celebrate. We welcome the Taliban’s decision to observe a ceasefire during Eid, as well as the Afghan government announcement reciprocating and announcing its own ceasefire.

(2/5) Coronavirus has disrupted Ramadan for the world, with special hardship for #Afghans because of escalating violence.

(3/5) Although difficult challenges remain on both fronts, I believe both will be overcome, so long as leaders on all sides make the right decisions and put the interest of their people first.

This development offers the opportunity to accelerate the peace process.

@AshrafGhani

Met with President @AshrafGhani and Chairman of the High Council for National Reconciliation @DrabdullahCE together and separately today in Kabul. I congratulated them on their agreement to form an inclusive government after protracted negotiations.

We discussed next steps required to implement the agreement between the 2 leaders. On peace, we agreed that violence is much too high and there is a need to move urgently to reduce it by all sides.

We also agreed on the importance of delivering (and soon) on other commitments made in the US-Taliban agreement and US-Afghanistan joint declaration including release of prisoners by both sides and the start of intra-Afghan negotiations.
