Afghan President Ashraf Ghani on September 29, 2016 signed a peace treaty with a notorious warlord, pledging to lobby the US and the United Nations to remove him and his party from terrorist blacklists.
Gulbuddin Hekmatyar signed the pact via a video link into Kabul's presidential palace. It is the first peace treaty the Afghan government has completed since the war with the Taliban began in 2001
