Brief:<\/b><\/p>

The author argues that the February 29<\/span>th<\/span>,\u00a0 2020 Afghanistan peace deal is the \u201cfirst-ever substantive peace negotiation effort between the United States and a jihadist movement\u201d the Taliban, which calls itself the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan. With fingers crossed, the author prophesies that any future government in the war-torn country with the Taliban at the helm will be a \u201cSunni Afghan version of the Islamic Republic of Iran.\u201d He stresses that if the intra-Afghan negotiations actually succeed, it will be a model for negotiating with jihadist nationalists in the future. Warrying parties of Afghanistan are holding a wide range of discussions for reconciliation in Qatar under the US-Afghan Taliban peace deal. This analytical paper also points to imminent regime change in the country. The current administration in Kabul\u2014a weak and divided one\u2014was installed by Western powers in 2001 after the so-called Bonn agreement under which the US and its allies occupied the country and forcibly removed the Taliban. \u201cAfghanistan is once again in the throes of regime change, this time via negotiations,\u201d the author insists. Referring to three diverging statements made at the opening of the intra-Afghan dialogues in Doha, the author argues that the Taliban will have to rethink its system of governance. The US has clarified that it will not impose \u201cits democracy\u201d on the country anymore. The author foresees a \u201chybrid of medieval Sunni ideal and a modern, Western-style state\u201d coming up in Afghanistan. After 19 years of war, spending over $1 trillion, and the loss of tens of thousands of civilians and combatants, the Afghan peace deal and ongoing dialogue is a political learning process for all sides involved in the conflict. According to the author, the last time Washington was so close to participating in negotiations was in 2007 talks in Iraq to weaken Sunni tribal support for al Qaeda. \u201cThe Taliban talks will likely serve as a model for other areas requiring political settlements, such as Syria, Iraq, Libya, and Yemen.\u201d<\/span><\/p>
