| [Khaama (Afghanistan)] The selfie pictures taken by the Talibs during the ceasefire period have apparently sparked anger among the Taliban ...Arabic for students... group leadership. A senior Taliban Überstürmbannführer informed regarding the growing anger among the Taliban leadership over the selfie pictures the group’s fighters have taken with the security forces, government officials, and ordinary civilians. "Last night, an emergency meeting was called and all the commanders were informed and directed to take strict disciplinary action against all those Taliban members who visited citizens and took pictures with the Afghan authorities," a senior unnamed Taliban official told Rooters. The source further added that Pakistain had wanted the Taliban to include U.S. and other foreign troops in the cease-fire, but the Taliban leader did not agree. This comes as the Taliban in a statement said late on Sunday that the fighters of the group will continue to their attacks on Afghan and foreign forces as well as against the government. The group has refrained from extending the ceasefire despite the Afghan government announced late on Sunday that the ceasefire with the Taliban has been extended for another ten days. |
