Pentagon report hints at political settlement to Afghan conflict

KABUL despite challenges on multiple fronts, according to a media report on Sunday.

"The current military situation inside of Afghanistan remains at an impasse. The introduction of additional advisers and enablers in 2018 stabilized the situation, slowing the momentum of a Taliban march that had capitalized on U.S. drawdowns between 2011 and 2016," the report said.
