PUL-I-KHUMRI (Pajhwok): The Afghan government has signed a deal with tribal elders in northern Baghlan province seeking to keep the insurgents from attacking security forces and emplacing landmines in two districts, but local residents, members of the provincial council and civil society activists say the accord amounts to glorifying militants.
The agreement was signed about 13 days ago between a government delegation appointed by the Presidential Palace and tribal elders who spoke on Taliban’s behalf amid ongoing clashes . . .
