The US top officials in Afghanistan have called on the Taliban to stop its offensive in Helmand and reduce its violence around the country.

US Chargé d’Affaires, Ross Wilson in a series of tweets on Tuesday echoed Gen. Miller’s call for the Taliban to stop its offensive in Helmand. “This violence, which is not consistent with the U.S.-Taliban agreement, leads only to unacceptable loss of life and destruction,” he said.

He furthered that the violence should stop so that all parties can move toward a lasting and much-needed peace for Afghans.
