For the vast majority of Afghans, who have lived through 17 years of war, the past three days have been a welcome respite from the never ending conflict.
However, Afghans are concerned that the Taliban will resume the conflict on Monday, as Eid-al-Fitr comes to an end.
At least 18 civilians were killed and 45 others wounded in a suicide bombing at the governor’s compounded in Jalalabad city, said Najibullah Kamawal, head of Nangarhar’s health department.
A suicide bomber detonated his explosives close to the governor’s compound in Jalalabad city in eastern Nangarhar province on Sunday afternoon, local officials confirmed.
