Afghanistan offers 3-month ceasefire with Taliban
Afghanistan's President Ashraf Ghani on Sunday offered a 3-month ceasefire with the Taliban militant group to mark the Eid ul-Adha holiday. Addressing an event to celebrate the country's 99th Independence Day, Ghani said the ceasefire would come into effect from Monday, provided it's respected by the militant group. The Taliban is yet to respond to Afghanistan's offer for a truce.
