This article discusses a recent bombing that took place at a popular restaurant in Kabul, Afghanistan. Taliban has admitted that they were the ones behind the bombing. The bomb resulted in the death of twenty six civilians, three of which were Americans. The United States condemned Taliban, saying that there was no reason to take the lives of those were working for a brighter future for the Afghans. However, Taliban said that the bombing was retaliation for an Afghan military operation that took place earlier this week. The United States government encouraged Taliban to lay down their weapons and initiate peace talk with the Afghan government. Many believe that such a move would guarantee peace in Afghanistan.
The content of this article makes me realize that bombings can happen anywhere. It also made me realize how violent the world really is. Because of a recent military operation, Taliban decided to go bomb a restaurant and kill twenty-six innocent lives as punishment. Initiating a peace talk could really ensure peace in Afghanistan, however, it is easier said than done. While the Afghan government may be more than willing to begin peace talks, Taliban may not be able to trust the government enough to lay down their weapons or they are still trying to prove their point.
This article could be a warning to Afghan citizens to be on high alert when leaving their homes. As sad as it is, the Afghan people must know that they are never truly safe while in public due to the actions of Taliban. The Afghan government should also take the United States's advice and attempt to initiate peace talks with Taliban in order to ensure the safety of their people. This article is important to the politics of Afghanistan because Taliban affects the government and the people daily with their violent actions. The government must find a way to put a stop to Taliban.
