Chief negotiators from the Afghan Republic and the Taliban met on Sunday, but the working groups from both sides failed to meet on Monday to finalize the agenda for the talks. 

Three meetings were held in the first days since the talks resumed on January 6, but the working groups from both sides have not met for the last six days.

Figures by the Ministry of Public Health (MoPH) indicate that 66 people were killed and over 400 more were wounded in criminal incidents in Kabul over the last six months.  

Kabul police said figures show that 11 people were killed and 30 more were wounded in the last 30 days.
