Commander of NATO’s Resolute Support mission and the U.S. Forces in Afghanistan (USFOR-A), Gen. Scott Miller told the Taliban to stop their attacks on Helmand.
“Taliban need to immediately stop their offensive actions in Helmand province and reduce violence around the country,” Miller said in a statement released by USFOR-A on Monday.
“It is not consistent with the U.S.-Taliban agreement and undermines the ongoing Afghan peace talks.
