Geneva Accords on Afghanistan
April 14, 1988
The Geneva Accords between Afghanistan and Pakistan, with Soviet and American guarantees, set the timetable for Soviet withdrawal from Afghanistan. It would take a year to complete. The mujahideen were not parties to the agreement and kept fighting. The world thought the Afghan war was ending. It was only changing shape.
