The Taliban has declared a 3-day Eid ceasefire in Afghanistan starting Sunday, and the country's president says the government will reciprocate.
"Do not carry out any offensive operations against the enemy anywhere, if any action is taken against you by the enemy, defend yourself," Zabihullah Mujahid, a Taliban spokesman, tweeted. He added that the ceasefire was declared solely for Eid festivities marking the end of the holy month of Ramadan.
Afghanistan's President Ashraf Ghani welcomed the Taliban's ceasefire announcement and extended the offer of peace. "As Commander-in-Chief I have instructed ANDSF to comply with the three-days truce and to defend only if attacked," he said in a tweet. Last month, the Taliban rejected a government call for a ceasefire across Afghanistan for Ramadan, saying a truce was"not rational" as they ramped up attacks on Afghan forces.
At least 146 civilians were killed and 430 wounded by the Taliban during Ramadan, Javid Faisal, a spokesman for the country's main intelligence and security office in Kabul, said on Saturday.
