Nangarhar rival families end 30-year-old feud

JALALABAD (Pajhwok): Following mediation from tribal leaders and religious scholars, a 30-year-old enmity has ended between two families in the Goshta district of eastern Nangarhar province.

At least one person had been killed as a result of the enmity.

Deputy governor Saeed Ahmad Banori told the reconciliation gathering in Mamakhel area of the district that efforts were being made to end all such enmities through reconciliation.
