Roland Kobia, the EU’s special envoy to Afghanistan has said that Ramadan must be the month of peace, not increased violence.
He said that the killing and wounding of 66 civilians by the Taliban in the first week of Ramadan is a concerning issue.
Despite calls on the international level, the Taliban have increased attacks on Afghan forces.
According to the Ministry of Interior, last night the Taliban launched a brazen attack on a checkpoint of government forces in the Noorak area of Zabul province, which resulted in the death of "18 Taliban fighters."
"Unfortunately, the Taliban have increased violence during the holy month of Ramadan, but whenever they tried to plot an attack, the Afghan National Security and Defense Forces dealt major blows to the group," said Tariq Aryan, a front man to the Ministry of Interior.
