Abstract
El Acuerdo de Doha, firmado el pasado 29 de febrero de 2020 entre los talibanes y Estados Unidos, fue presentado como un “acuerdo de paz” entre dos de las partes del conflicto, lo cual invitaba a pensar, inevitablemente, en un próximo alto el fuego en Afganistán. Este artículo pretende contextualizar la firma de este acuerdo en aras de evidenciar si merece tal calificativo y demostrar que su contenido se centra exclusivamente en establecer los términos en los que Estados Unidos saldrá del país tras 20 años de intervención; algo confirmado por la Administración de Joe Biden. Más allá de la renuncia de Estados Unidos a seguir en Afganistán, las conversaciones entre el Gobierno afgano y los talibanes, aún en curso, determinarán si, efectivamente, hay esperanza para que la paz en un país asolado por la violencia desde hace más de dos décadas.

This article is intended to contextualize the signature of this agreement in order to demonstrate whether it deserves such a qualifier and to demonstrate that its content focuses exclusively on establishing the terms on which the United States will leave the country after 20 years of intervention; something confirmed by Joe Biden's administration. Beyond United States’ renunciation to continue in Afghanistan, talks between the Afghan government and the Taliban, still ongoing, will determine whether there is indeed hope for peace in a country ravaged by violence for more than two decades
