The Taliban militant group does not appear intent on stopping deadly operations in Afghanistan. Latest attacks by the militants have claimed the lives of more than 40 military personnel and civilians.

On Saturday alone, car bombings in the east and south also injured 60 people.

Despite ongoing talks between Kabul and the militant group in Doha, heavy blasts in the provinces of Nangarhar and Kandahar once again showed the fragility of the situation in the war-torn country.

Some says the Taliban seek to dial up pressure on the government by rejecting ceasefire, and at the same time stepping up their campaign of violence. The strategy is seen as a stunt to gain the upper hand in peace negotiations.

Reports coming out of Doha show the Taliban have set new preconditions for the talks. The militants now want certain details already agreed in their earlier deal with the United States to be renegotiated.
