The focus point of the article is on a low-degree ideological compromise from the Taliban\u2019s side, and their bold stand against the current Afghan government. Based on the official announcements made by the Taliban, its peace deal with the US is limited in scope and does not include a ceasefire with the Afghan forces. They are strict on the idea of bringing an Islamic establishment. Over the period of time, the Taliban locality administrations have taken the shape of a shadow government, administering successfully from fighter recruitments all the way to winning the hearts and minds of local communities against the current Western government system. The Pakistan intelligence service \u201cISI\u201d and its military have played a crucial role towards the Taliban\u2019s success since then.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><br \/><b>By:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Abdullah Jurat, CIGA Research Associate<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Author: Mujib Mashal Affiliation: The New York Times Organization\/Publisher: The New York Times\u00a0 Date\/Place: May 26, 2020\/ USA Type of Literature: Article Word Count: 3,800\u00a0 Link: https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2020\/05\/26\/world\/asia\/taliban-afghanistan-war.html?action=click&amp;module=Top%20Stories&amp;pgtype=Homepage Keywords: Taliban, Peace Deal, US invasion, Afghanistan.
