خبرگزاری Herat Afghan Voice Agency(AVA) , 30 Dec 2019 - 16:51
The Taliban has rejected the reports that they have made a decision on a temporary ceasefire nationwide.
Spokesman for Taliban’s Qatar office, Suhail Shahin said in a tweet that some media outlets release their reports without any evidence.
“Of course, if anything happens, we will definitely share with the people and the media,” Shahin said.
This comes as the Associated Press on Sunday evening quoted anonymous sources within the Taliban saying that the ruling council of the group – in Pakistan – has agreed to a temporary ceasefire.
The AP reported that the Taliban chief must approve the agreement “but that is expected.”
The report added that the intra-Afghan negotiations are expected to be held within two weeks of the signing of a U.S.-Taliban peace deal.
