Afghan and Pakistani Tribal Elders Secure Ceasefire in Nawa Pass Area
Tribal elders from Afghanistan's Kunar province and Pakistan's Bajaur and Mohmand districts reached a historic ceasefire agreement following weeks of border violence. The agreement, brokered in the Nawa Pass area, calls for an immediate halt to cross-border shelling and attacks on civilian centers. The deal is intended to allow thousands of families displaced by the recent skirmishes to return to their homes, despite continued diplomatic tensions between the Taliban government and Islamabad.
