Afghanistan’s Vice President Amrullah Saleh tweeted, “Pakistan Air Force has issued an official warning to the Afghan Army and Air Force that any move to remove the Taliban from the Spin Boldak area will be faced by the Pakistan Air Force.” Pakistan’s air force is now providing close air support to the Taliban in some areas.

Badghis governor Hesamuddin Shams told AFP: “The ceasefire between Afghan security forces and the Taliban began around 10:00 this morning. The ceasefire was mediated by tribal elders. Amid the continued withdrawal of US-led foreign troops from Afghanistan, the Taliban have unleashed extreme violence and occupied several districts and major border crossings with neighboring countries such as Iran, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Pakistan.

Allegations on ISI
Earlier today, Pakistan announced that it will host a peace conference on Afghanistan to support efforts to bring stability to the neighboring country. Foreign Office spokesman Zahid Hafeez Chaudhry said, “I can confirm that Pakistan is hosting the Afghan peace conference on July 17-19.” On 14 July news emerged that Pakistan had closed the border with Afghanistan, as the Taliban captured Spin Boldak, a cross-border point in Afghanistan. Afghan leaders have accused Pakistan and its intelligence agency ISI of supporting Taliban leaders.
