KABUL (Pajhwok): The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan on Sunday urged Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan to resolve their border dispute through talks as continuation of the conflict would negatively impact the region’s security and stability.
Kyrgyzstan reported “intense battles” with Central Asian neighbor Tajikistan on Friday and said 24 people had been killed in the latest outbreak of violence to hit the former Soviet Union.
Both of the impoverished landlocked nations have accused each other of restarting fighting in a disputed area, despite a ceasefire deal.
In a statement, the Kyrgyz border service said its forces were continuing to repel Tajik . . .
