KABUL - News Of A Potential Ceasefire By The Taliban Has Given Hope To Ending The Nearly Two Decade Old War In Afghanistan. But not everyone is convinced.
Her Excellency, Roya Rahmani, is Afghanistan's first female ambassador to the United States.  “Forty years of war has left us with deep wounds,” said Rahmani. “It needs recovery.”
“This is the very legitimate demand of our people. Stop killing us to start with,” she added.
Former Veterans Affairs Secretary David Shulkin agreed.
“We have to be willing to say no and to continue to stand up for our principles if we're not able to reach that type of agreement. We can't just simply get up and leave,” said Shulkin.
The Embassy of Afghanistan recently partnered with the Independence Fund to host children of American veterans as well as children of Afghans living in the U.S. Army Major Adam Armstrong served in Afghanistan and brought his children.
“I hope this will make it more personal for them so they can understand what, you know, Afghan children are living lives over there just like they are here,” said Armstrong.
Navy SEAL and Purple Heart recipient Kristin Beck was wounded in Afghanistan and was among the group of veterans the ambassador thanked. (Fox News)
