On Monday, he told reporters that after the years he has spent working to restore the government, he would not give into to Taliban demands.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve been working on this for two decades; there are lessons,\u201d Ghani stated. Peacemaking is not jazz, it\u2019s not improvisation. In order to do jazz, you need ten thousand hours of preparation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>His statement comes as the Taliban has increased violence in the region since May 1, which was the original withdrawal deadline established by President Trump. This is exactly what military experts warned might happen if Joe Biden ignored the groundwork laid by previous negotiations and unilaterally made his own decision regarding operations in an incredibly unstable area.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The U.S. decision to leave <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Afghanistan?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Afghanistan<\/a> is a decision moment for the Taliban, the region, and Afghans themselves.
