Afghanistan Taliban plan 3-day cease-fire for Eid holiday

Afghan men bury a victim of deadly bombings on Saturday near a school, at a cemetery west of Kabul, Afghanistan, Sunday, May 9, 2021. The Interior Ministry said Sunday the death toll in the horrific bombing at the entrance to a girls' school in the Afghan capital has soared to some 50 people, many of them pupils between 11 and 15 years old, and the number of wounded in Saturday's attack has also climbed to more than 100.

The cease-fire would begin on either Wednesday or Thursday. The Muslim calendar follows lunar cycles and the Eid holiday depends on the sighting of the new moon. The cease-fire announcement comes amid heightened violence in the country and follows a brutal attack on a girls’ school on Saturday that killed as many 60 people, most of them students between 11-15 years old. The death toll from the three explosions continues to climb.The Taliban denied any responsibility and condemned the attack, which occurred in the mostly Shiite neighborhood of Dasht-e-Barchi in the west of the capital.

Crickets from Biden Harris. Girls are victimized.

Not sure if it's accurate but the rumor is, there is a plan of 'a talk' for a 3 day (only) holiday gun control ceasefire between NRA, Republicans, and Democrats. I'll bet it's SM rubish.

If they deny this...why wont they shake hand with govt to bring the culprits to justice....simply denying wont do...this is inhuman...barbaric...

US calls herself an advanced civilized state. Yesterday State Dept called killing of Afghan girls barbaric. What I saw on 01/06/21 at U.S Capitol no less barbaric. For me U.S responsible for invasion, occupation & killings of so many Afghans 2001-2021! Not Afghans. Genocide!

it sounds good that Taliban postpone killing people for 3 days, and they will resume the massacre on day 4 of Eid. We are thanful to Pakistan and the proxy TB for their Eid dedication.

POTUS and VP, If we as a nation don't stay involved and insist on a workable peace, then we failed not only Afghans but my military brothers and sisters who gave their lives over there.

First they bomb a girls school, now they want to celebrate Ramadan..

Devils are killing children for what exactly?

soscolombia

ya'll killing each other over religion only to take a 3 day vacation for religion.

The Taliban can eat shit.

They are terrorists like Al Qaeda both have same Islamofascist ideology, only way to eradicate them is to implement policies of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk (Founder and 1st President of Turkey)

Afghan Taliban declares three-day ceasefire for Eid celebration this week -spokesmanTaliban insurgents said on Monday they would observe a three-day ceasefire in Afghanistan for the Muslim religious holiday of Eid, starting this week, after weeks of increasing violence that gripped the country. What about the 60 young girls you just killed when you blew up their school ? So who's blowing up the children? No ever claims responsibility. Ceasefire of that would be very nice It sounds like they are conciliatory and can sit down peaceful to exchange idea, what a harmonious scenery it is. So why don’t just act like this forever , to cope the argument and disagreement by communication rather than war. To protect the common citizens.
