Taliban propose brief Afghan ceasefire: insurgent sources
Kabul, Jan 16 (AFP/APP): The Taliban have offered a brief ceasefire to their US counterparts in Doha, two insurgent sources said Thursday, a move which could allow the resumption of talks seeking a deal for Washington to withdraw troops from Afghanistan.
“It is an offer for a ceasefire either for seven or 10 days,” a senior Taliban official who requested anonymity told AFP.
“It has been finalised and given to the Americans. It is going to pave the way for an agreement.”
A second insurgent source, confirmed that the offer had been handed to the US.
