OREANDA-NEWS. Representatives of the Sunni Islamic fundamentalist political movement Taliban announced the resumption of offensive operations against the security forces of Afghanistan. According to Zabiullah Mujahid, the Taliban will not attack international troops. “The reduction in the level of violence… has already ended, and our operations will continue as usual,” he said.

The United States of America and the Taliban signed an agreement to begin the peace process in Afghanistan, which involves the release of prisoners. A day before, Afghan President Ashraf Ghani refused to free 5 thousand members of the Taliban. In his opinion, an agreement on this is a matter of discussion. Inter-Afghan negotiations with the participation of the Taliban, the government of Afghanistan and the country’s legal political forces were scheduled for March 10.
