After briefly resuming on January 5, the intra-Afghan peace talks between the Afghan government and the Taliban have been slow to progress, and the two sides have not met since the Biden administration announced that they would review the February 2020 US-Taliban peace agreement. While the Afghan government’s team awaits the resumption of talks in Doha, Taliban leaders have been travelling throughout the region, meeting with leaders in Iran, Russia, and Pakistan lobbying and courting support.
