President Ashraf Ghani on Sunday said he has a clear plan for peace compared to “external plans” but reiterated that there shouldn’t be haste in the process.

Ghani, whose message was played to a large gathering of residents from northern provinces in Kabul, said that there is a need for the establishment of a peace government.

At least ten people, including three civilians, were killed in five security incidents in Herat, Sar-e-Pul, Farah and Uruzgan provinces on Sunday, according to local officials.

Three police officers were killed in a roadside bomb explosion in the city of Herat on Sunday evening, health officials said. Security officials did not comment on the incident.
