WASHINGTON (Pajhwok): Welcoming President Ashraf Ghani’s offer of a temporary ceasefire with the Taliban forces would abide by this ceasefire with the Taliban, but not with the ISIS.
“In support of the Afghan government’s initiative, NATO’s Resolute Support Mission and U.S. forces in Afghanistan will respect the ceasefire, as it applies to the Taliban. It does not apply to ISIS and al-Qa’ida, nor does it prohibit operations to defend Afghan and Coalition forces from attack . . .
