Afghan Taliban and U.S. troops in Afghanistan confirmed on the 11th that a number of Taliban leaders met with U.S. troops stationed in Afghanistan and commander of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization Mission in Afghanistan Scott Miller the day before in Doha, Qatar, the Gulf country, to discuss "reducing violent conflicts" ".

The Taliban met with Miller, the highest US military commander in Afghanistan. Reuters reported that the background of this meeting was the Taliban ’s identification that the US military repeatedly assisted the Afghan security forces in launching attacks on the Taliban, in violation of the peace agreement signed by the Taliban and the US in February this year.
The US military stationed in Afghanistan played down the cause of this meeting. A spokesperson told Reuters: “As part of the establishment of military channels in the agreement, General Miller met with the Taliban leadership last night, and the topic revolved around the need to reduce violent conflict.”
A spokesman for the Taliban Political Office in Doha, Suhaile Shahin, posted on social media "Twitter", saying that the two sides discussed the implementation of the peace agreement at this meeting.
The Taliban condemned last week the US military ’s support for Afghan security forces to carry out military operations in Afghanistan, saying that this approach would damage the peace agreement. However, the U.S. military stationed in Afghanistan has attributed the U.S. operations to assisting the Afghan forces in defensive operations.
The implementation of the peace agreement between the United States and Tajikistan has not been smooth. According to the agreement, the Afghan government and the Taliban will exchange detainees. After the Afghan government released 200 Taliban personnel this week, the Taliban unilaterally suspended the exchange of prisoners on the grounds that the released personnel were not designated by the Taliban.
According to the agreement, on the premise of fulfilling security guarantees, the Taliban will withdraw the multinational forces including the US military from Afghanistan in stages, thus ending the 18-year US military intervention in Afghanistan. The Taliban will also negotiate with the Afghan National Reconciliation Delegation and strive for a political solution to achieve peace in Afghanistan.

After the signing of the peace agreement, the violent attacks in Afghanistan did not disappear. The Taliban launched attacks from time to time, causing civilian casualties, and the complaints in the meeting with the US military commander in Afghanistan seemed to imply that the Taliban were "unable to support the US military defense."
A police issued a statement on the 11th, saying that the police killed a Taliban commander and two of his assistants in a preemptive operation in the western province of Farah. Police said that before the Taliban planned to attack a police outpost and put it into action, the police killed three people, including the infamous Nur Ahmed.
Local government official Datura Kani told the Russian Satellite News Agency that Ahmed is a key figure in the Taliban ’s local armed forces and frequently plans and carries out attacks on Afghan forces.
The Afghan military also issued a statement on the 11th, saying that three Taliban members, including one leader, and four Taliban personnel were injured in the air raid operation in the southern Chabul province.
The military said that the 205th Regiment of the Afghan National Army launched a pre-emptive strike against Taliban militants, preventing them from launching attacks on local military outposts and killing three Taliban including Mullah Abral.
The Taliban have not responded to the above two incidents.
The Arab military announced on the 8th that in another pre-emptive strike, the military killed six Taliban armed men in Chabul province.
An explosive exploded in the Spindak district of southern Kandahar Province on the evening of the 10th, killing 3 civilians and injuring 2 others. A spokesman for the governor of Kandahar Province identified the Taliban assault. On the same day, the Taliban launched an attack in the southeastern province of Ghazni.
