President Ashraf Ghani’s Spokesman, Sediq Sediqqi said that the government has ordered the release of some Taliban’s prisoners to pave the ground for the reduction of violence, intra-Afghan-talks and a sustainable peace in the country.
“The Taliban are not committed to reduction of violence, they are even continuing their attacks against the people of Afghanistan and government,” he twitted.
