They should negotiate a settlement, one where the Taliban gets a share of government control (but not the ability to overwhelm the sitting government), integration of Taliban fighters into the army, but with the guarantees that the constitutional gains since 2001, such as they are (you can be executed for converting away from Islam, but girls are allowed to go to school) are upheld.
You neither want violence to persist nor the country to backslide, but its fairly clear that the Taliban isn't going away. A negotiated settlement involving integrating them into the new order would possibly be the best way, but to even get that we need some more solid results on the ground
