 Moments after United States and Taliban negotiators struck a deal to end America's longest war fought in Afghanistan, Marwa Khan, a Kabul resident, called his mother and said: "They have signed the deal, the war is over."

"This war has brought so much sorrow. I cry looking at people who lost their loved ones. This is a step forward for us," Khan told Al Jazeera.
