Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) urged all parties in Afghanistan on Friday to urgently declare a lasting cease-fire and end violence during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.<\/p>\n
In a statement, the OIC appealed to all leaders and parties in Afghanistan to work together to ensure peace and stability in the country through dialogue amid the novel coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n
With both the US and the Taliban blaming each other for violating the terms of a landmark agreement inked on Feb. 29, the rejuvenated yet fragile Afghan peace process continues to face deadlock as differences persist over the proposed exchange of prisoners, the launch of intra-Afgan talks and a subsequent cease-fire.<\/p>\n
Afghanistan’s Health Ministry confirmed a total of 1,143 cases so far, while the death toll stands at 40.<\/p>\n
The coronavirus has spread to 185 countries and regions since emerging in China last December, with the U.S. and Europe being the hardest-hit areas in the world.<\/p>\n
Over 2.78 million cases have now been reported worldwide, with the death toll exceeding 195,000 and nearly 766,000 recoveries, according to figures compiled by the US-based Johns Hopkins University.<\/p>\n
