The U.S. top negotiator in Afghanistan said that COVID-19 'makes prisoner releases urgent' as the Taliban's spokesperson urged 'world's humanitarian and health organizations to pay special attention' to their plight.
The United States is urging Afghanistan to release Taliban prisoners as committed under prospective peace talks, warning that the detainees were at risk due to the spread of the new coronavirus.
These points included meetings between technical teams, face-to-face conversations due to coronavirus, avoiding"provocative media statements" and that the"Taliban commit that released prisoners will abide by the commitments made in the peace agreement and not return to the battlefield."An Afghan man wears a protective facemasks against the spread of the COVID-19 coronavirus in a taxi car along the street in the west of Kabul, March 18.
The Afghan Health Ministry placed the number of national COVID-19 cases on Wednesday at 22, and one patient recovered and was sent home that same day. Shaheen said Tuesday that the Taliban's rival health commission"assures all international health organizations and WHO of its readiness to cooperate and coordinate with them in combatting the Corona virus [sic]."
