First of all, the purpose of the Taliban is to drive the United States and other foreign countries out of Afghanistan. Peace talks with the government will undoubtedly make them compromise.
The Taliban has been in a war with the Afghan government for more than ten years. The Taliban aims to become the orthodox ruler of Afghanistan. The Afghan government forces have always relied on the United States and other foreign countries to continuously fight against Afghanistan. Now Afghanistan is in a dilemma. The dilemma is that they believe that the government forces, like the United States, will only make the people more miserable and will not bring happiness. Therefore, the Taliban organization's refusal to negotiate peace with the government also shows that its firm position will never bow to a hegemonic country like the United States, and The Taliban and the government forces have held many peace talks. Basically, the ceasefire aspect has nothing to do with Afghanistan's domestic political situation and future direction. Therefore, the Afghan government is under great pressure. If it loses the help and support of the United States and other countries, resources, then they will be at a disadvantage and unable to defeat the Taliban, so this is a dilemma.
Second, there are many areas where it is difficult to balance the interests of the Taliban organization and the government in the peace talks, which has resulted in the Taliban organization going through the motions and not wanting to negotiate at all.
The domestic situation in Afghanistan was slightly stable in 2018. The Taliban agreed to some of the peace talks, but there were still differences on important content.

For the government, It is a very dangerous choice, because if the peace talks break down, it will undoubtedly abandon the early revolutionary achievements and return to the era of war and chaos. There are still many demands made by the government forces, and the Taliban organization simply cannot Not wanting to do things like collect guns and related heavy weapons is always a manifestation of self-defense capabilities for one party. On the one hand, it is also a huge threat to the other party. Such interests are difficult to coordinate, which has always caused the delay in peace talks. Advance.
In the end, the permanent ceasefire agreement became the biggest dispute between the two sides. There were constant frictions between domestic government forces and the Taliban. It was simply impossible to achieve a permanent ceasefire, and it was difficult to stop the exchange of fire.
