KABUL: The deal signed between President Donald Trump’s administration and the Taliban marked a one-year anniversary on Sunday, with the Afghan government saying that the accord did not end up with the expected results as violence in the country has increased. But the Taliban says it is a practical step toward achieving peace and stability in the country.
The deal was signed after 18 months of talks between the US negotiating team led by special envoy Zalmay Khalilzad and the Taliban negotiators in Doha.

Paktika
Nadya is a 25 year-old female teacher who lives in Mashkhail, a remote district 15 km from Sharan, the principal town in the conservative southeastern Afghan province of Paktika. Her experiences highlight many of the problems the government faces in bringing education to the millions who need it.
In an interview with IRIN, she said that many more girls would be at school if there were more female teachers like her. She added that Afghanistan needed more female professionals in general as a means of promoting greater women s participation in this male-dominated society. Her classroom is a tent pitched in the corner of a compound in Mashat Kheyl village. As far as she knows, she is the only female teacher in the province.
