Kabul: The Panjshir Resistance forces have called for a ceasefire, Taliban withdrawal, as per a statement, news agency AFP reported on Monday. Both sides have reportedly suffered massive casualties in the violent clashes over the past few days.
The National Resistance Front of Afghanistan (NRF) led by Ahmad Massoud has issued a statement welcoming the calls for an “immediate end to the war.”
“The NRF agrees in principle with resolving the current problems and the immediate cessation of hostilities, and the continuation of the negotiation process and hopes that the Taliban will respond to the request of the clerics and take practical steps toward this end,” said the statement.
“The NRF is ready to immediately end the war to achieve lasting peace if the Taliban end their attacks and military operations in Panjshir and Andarab. We hope to hold a high-level meeting with scholars to continue this conversation,” added the resistance forces.
