At a ceremony at a military college near Kabul on June 18th, Afghanistan's president, Hamid Karzai, and the secretary-general of NATO, Anders Fogh Rasmussen, declared that the Afghan National Security Forces (ANSF) were now leading the fight against the Taliban in every part of the country. Soon after, news broke that America was about to start formal peace talks with the insurgency's leadership. Four American soldiers were killed by a Taliban rocket attack on the giant Bagram air base in the east of the country; and Karzai suddenly broke off negotiations with America on a vital status-of-forces agreement (SOFA). This is needed to provide a legal basis, including immunity from local prosecution, for the foreign troops remaining after 2014, by which time the majority will have left. Karzai is deeply suspicious of America's intentions. He fears America might cut its own deal with the Taliban, which has always refused to negotiate with a government it regards as illegitimate.
