A pretty good return on the investment of a three-day pause, with no further commitment. On May 11 the Afghan government suspended the release of Death Eater prisoners, saying the Taliban must bring its total number of released security force members to 200. The government claimed that so far the group had only freed 105."
The Afghan government has released 1,000 Taliban prisoners so far. The release of up to 5,000 Taliban prisoners was included as part of the US-Taliban deal signed in Doha on Feb. 29.
Presidential front man Sediq Sediqqi in a tweet said President Ghani today (Saturday) initiated a process to release up to 2,000 Taliban prisoners as a goodwill gesture in response to the Taliban’s announcement of a ceasefire during Eid.
He added that the Afghan government is extending the offer of peace and is taking further steps to ensure the success of the grinding of the peace processor.
The Taliban announced the three-day ceasefire for Eid on Saturday evening.
The move was widely welcomed by Afghanistan’s allies in the world and in the region.
India welcomed the three-day ceasefire in Afghanistan, expressing hope that this ceasefire will extend further and become permanent so the country can better cope with the coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague)
 ...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men...
pandemic and pave the way for a durable peace.
Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
also welcomed the three-day ceasefire in Afghanistan. The Iranian embassy in Kabul stated that the Iranian government hopes the gesture will help with further confidence-building in the grinding of the peace processor.
Meanwhile,
...back at the shootout, Butch cautiously raised his hat over the edge of the horse trough on the end of a stick......
the US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo in a statement welcomed "the announcements by the Taliban to observe a three-day ceasefire for Eid and the Afghan government to reciprocate."
"We worked hard to achieve this moment, and I hope that this respite from conflict gives Afghan people the space and security they deserve to celebrate Eid, while allowing the Taliban and the government the opportunity to take additional steps toward a peaceful future for their country," he said.
A credible security source said two security incidents occurred in the 20 hours after the announcement of the ceasefire. One happened in Raghistan district, Badakhshan province, during which two holy warriors were killed, and the other in Parwan where two rockets were fired on Bagram Airfield, causing no casualties.
It takes a while for the message to get to the hinterlands, I guess.
