Taliban frees three Pakistani soldiers in Saudi-mediated move

The release comes months after the worst cross-border fighting since the Taliban returned to power in 2021. Dozens were killed in October clashes, after which both sides agreed to a fragile ceasefire but failed to secure a longer-term political understanding. Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said in a statement the soldiers, detained on October 12 during fighting along the border, were handed over to a Saudi delegation in Kabul. He said the release was in line with the Taliban government’s policy of maintaining “positive relations with all countries” and came ahead of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. It was also in response to a request from “the brotherly country of Saudi Arabia”, which has hosted recent talks between the two sides, the spokesman added. 🔗 Leggi su Internazionale.it
