<p>Sixty-four people were killed and over 80 others injured in brazen attacks on a hospital, a funeral and a security forces convoy in Kabul, Nangarhar and Laghman provinces.</p>
<p>The Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack on security forces in Laghman but denied involvement in the attacks on funeral and the hospital.</p>
<p>In a statement, the Afghanistan Women Network strongly condemned the inhuman attack on the maternity hospital in Kabul, in which 14 people were killed and 15 others injured.</p>
<p>The Doctors without Borders or MSF runs the maternity unit in the Dasht-i-Barchi hospital for less fortunate women during pregnancy and child delivery.</p>
<p>The network also condemned the attacks on funeral in Nangarhar and on security forces in Laghman provinces and asked the international community, including the UN, the US, NATO and OIC to react to recent terrorist attacks and renew their support to the people of Afghanistan.</p>
<p> “We want the government to stop the release of Taliban prisoners and giving more privileges to the group”</p>
<p>They also demanded a halt to the ongoing Taliban-US peace agreement and urged that future of the agreement should be linked to ceasefire in the country.</p>
<p>“We want the NATO to explain its presence in Afghanistan and their commitment to the fight against terrorism and give assurances to the people of Afghanistan,” according to the statement.</p>
<p>The statement further said: “The escalation of violence, especially after the signing of a peace agreement between the United States and the Taliban, shows the group's lack of commitment to bringing peace to Afghanistan. We call on the United States to end its support for the Taliban and, in return, to provide financial and military support to the Afghan government in the fight against this group.”</p>
