Kiana Hayeri for The New York Times The beginning of the end of the Afghan war? The signing of a deal between the Taliban and the U.S. is expected to go ahead on Saturday, a major step toward peace for a country scarred by more than four decades of conflict. A weeklong, partial cease-fire was a prerequisite for the signing, and it has appeared to work, leading to as much as an [80 percent drop in major attacks](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRgOsEOP4QFAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm55dGltZXMuY29tLzIwMjAvMDIvMjcvd29ybGQvYXNpYS9hZmdoYW5pc3Rhbi10YWxpYmFuLXBlYWNlLmh0bWw_dGU9MSZubD1tb3JuaW5nLWJyaWVmaW5nJmVtYz1lZGl0X01CQUVfcF8yMDIwMDIyNyZzZWN0aW9uPXRvcE5ld3MmY2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9NyZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD0xNjMzMCZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTIxNjkyJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDcmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MnRpb249dG9wTmV3c1cDbnl0QgoAJw48WF4GiFybUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~), officials said. That’s most likely enough for American negotiators to move ahead with the deal. What’s next: An agreement would lay out a timeline for the withdrawal of U.S. troops from the country, unlocking a phase of direct negotiations 10 days later between the Taliban and other Afghan groups. Have we been here before? “Yes and no,” said Mujib Mashal, our Afghanistan correspondent. “We had never come this close to a negotiated partial cease-fire that’s been in effect for the past four or five days.” See more from our interview with him in the Back Story.

It has become the worst religiously motivated brutality in India in years. The government asked for more time to investigate after police officials addressed accusations in court on Thursday that they had ignored specific intelligence about armed Hindus coming together to challenge Muslim protesters. Critics saw it as a stall tactic. Intelligence agents in the police services requested more forces to be deployed, but the chaos only grew, according to Indian media.

And now for the Back Story on … Imagining peace in Afghanistan This weekend could bring the beginning of an end to decades of conflict between the U.S., the Taliban and Afghan forces.

What did they tell you? The question I posed was: Listen, peace means that, eventually, tens of thousands of Taliban fighters that are out there either lay down their arms or integrate into the United Afghan security force. That means you, a 21-year-old who has fought as a child soldier since you were 14 against these Taliban, will be sitting with them around the same dinner table. Are you ready for that? They were like, “I hate their guts.” And a lot of them hadn’t digested that question. A peace march in Ghazni, Afghanistan, in 2018. Jim Huylebroek for The New York Times What’s the big question looming about the way forward? This war started largely as an American war. But in the second decade of it, increasingly this became a very localized Afghan-on-Afghan war — this became relatives on two different sides, on the government side and on the insurgent side. The big question is, “What is the process for undoing this hatred, this animosity that’s been so localized?” The fear is there’s not going to be enough time and patience for that process. That’s going to require a lot of hand-holding and attention and time. Does the U.S. have the patience to stick around for that to complete in a proper way? You were born in Kabul, and have covered this war for the past seven years. As a reporter, what is it like to imagine peace? The whole past year of focusing on the potential for a resolution to the conflict has been refreshing in a lot of ways. The past seven years, a good chunk of it, I was reporting on a story that was a bleeding stalemate. Every day, every week, we were reporting on death after death after death. It was frustratingly, heartbreakingly hopeless. It’s felt like I’ve been an obituary writer, almost — we were finding human stories to remind people that, hey, these 50 dead all had hopes and dreams and lives. The past year, there was this opening that finally this conversation could turn. As a reporter, part of me almost feels like it’s returning to a normal reporting job: politics, diplomacy, deals. The past week gave me an idea of what reporting on Afghanistan would be like if it were a more normal place. That’s it for this briefing. See you next time. — Melina Thank you To Mark Josephson, Eleanor Stanford and Chris Harcum for the break from the news.
