LASHKARGAH (Pajhwok): The People Peace Movement (PPM) on Saturday said its members discussed peace, ceasefire and US troops’ withdrawal with Taliban militants in southern Helmand province.
The peace movement members embarked on a foot journey to Musa Qala, a Taliban stronghold, late on May 30 from Lashkargah, the provincial capital, to demand the hard-line movement and government forces commit to a lasting cease-fire.
Covering more than 150 kilometers, walking through farmlands and battle-scarred villages, they reached Musa Qala, but were arrested by Taliban militants . . .
