KABUL do not reduce violence, says a presidential aide.
President Ghani’s spokesman Sediq Seddiqi urged the insurgent movement to take the coronavirus threat seriously and consider declaring a ceasefire.
Taliban’s truce would enable the government to focus more effectively on combating the Covid-19 pandemic, Seddiqi told a news conference here on Monday.
He went on to warn: “If the Taliban-linked violence does not cease, we will be unable to achieve the ultimate goal of peace.”
