KABUL, 12 April, 2021 (TON): The Afghani people living in the worn-torn country called on to observe ceasefire in the holy fasting month for Muslims, Ramadan.

First Vice President Amrullah Saleh, at a gathering in the Shamali area outside the capital Kabul on Sunday, called on the Taliban outfit to meet the demand by the Afghan people for cease-fire and reconciliation.

Lawmaker Mohiudin Munsif was quoted by the media as saying, "Taliban should observe ceasefire at least in Ramadan if they want peace.”

A Kabul resident, Noorul Haq Khan said, "The month of Ramadan is the month of peace and brotherhood and therefore I ask the Taliban and the government to observe cease-fire and let the Afghans to live in peace at least in Ramadan.”

However, as it is noticed already, that in war-torn Afghanistan, fighting and violence have been continuing, and in the latest wave, over 50 people including Taliban militants, government security personnel and civilians were killed. Therefore, the people are looking for a halt in the insurgency at least in the special month of fasting.
