KABUL: Former President, Hamid Karzai welcomed government decision to release Taliban prisoners, calling it a good step.
President Ghani announced to free 900 Taliban prisoners after the militants agreed a short-term cease fire during the Eid days.
Karzai said Wednesday in a statement that bringing a durable peace to the country is the wish of every Afghan. He said that extension of the truce and prisoner swap could help for a trust building and would pave the ground for the intra-Afghan negotiations.
