The Taliban said their peace deal with the United States was nearing a breaking point, accusing Washington of violations that included drone attacks on civilians, while also chastising the Afghan government for delaying the release of 5,000 Taliban prisoners promised in the agreement.

The U.S. President Donald Trump has conditionally approved a peace deal with the Taliban group, more than a year after Washington entered into direct peace negotiations with the Taliban political leaders.

Some sources revealed the names of faces that will attend a meeting on peace, saying that these people are expected to meet with the Taliban and America during the sixth round of peace talks in Qatar.

Afghanistan national security advisor (NSA) Hanif Atmar said on Thursday he was much more optimistic about reaching peace with the Taliban than he had been a year ago.
