Khalilzad calls on Afghan warring sides for a quick move to ceasefire

Reacting against a recent deadly explosion in Ghazni, the US special peace envoy, Zalmay Khalilzad, has called on the Afghan warring sides, the government and the Taliban, to reduce violence and move quickly to a ceasefire.

Condemning high level of violence, the US Special Representative for Afghanistan Reconciliation asserted that violence was aimed at undermining Afghans who are committed to peace, a permanent end to violence, and prosperous Afghanistan. “This enemy must be denied”, he noted.
