“Today all the Taliban fighters are ordered to refrain from any kind of attack ... for the happiness of the nation,” Zabiullah Mujahid, a spokesman for the Taliban told Reuters.
“The biggest thing is that we hope the US remain committed to their promises during the negotiation and peace deal,” he said, adding that foreign forces' aircraft were flying over Taliban territory which was “irritating and provocative”.

President Trump no doubt a statesman and a compassionate person.
He had done the peace agreement, allowing plebiscite to the people of Afghanistan to choose their way of life. The people of Afghanistan have learnt a great deal, and now they are prepared to sit across the table and resolve their differences. Pak is always there to help support in any form it can, food, medicines, reconstruction, etc. Longlive Afghan Pak friendship.
