Afghanistan Freedom Front Announces Pause In Military Operations During Ramadan
The Afghanistan Freedom Front (AFF) says it will suspend military operations against the Taliban during Ramadan, citing respect for the holy month and concern for the wellbeing of fasting civilians.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, 18 February, the group said that, as in previous years, it would unilaterally pause its operations during Ramadan. It added that no attacks would be carried out until the end of the Eid holidays unless its positions or bases faced direct attack or threat.
The anti-Taliban political and military group said it would respond if it observed what it described as provocative actions by the Taliban, including the harassment of civilians, particularly women.
The Afghanistan Freedom Front also extended Ramadan greetings to Muslims in Afghanistan and worldwide, saying it would resume operations against what it called the Taliban’s “repressive administration” after the Eid holidays.
