1/7 The news from Ghazni of the deaths of so many innocents, almost all of them children, is heart-breaking. We share the sorrow and grief that the victims’ families bear at this moment.
2/7 The killing and death of Afghans including civilians has become too commonplace.
3/7 We condemn the ongoing high level of violence and we condemn all those who authorize and carry out such attacks across Afghanistan, creating terror and bloodshed.
4/7 Their goal is to sow discord and use violence to undermine Afghans committed to peace, a permanent end to violence, and a prosperous Afghanistan. This enemy must be denied.
5/7 We call for all sides to reduce violence and move quickly to a ceasefire. Together and with international support they must also deal with menace of unexploded ordnance and mines across the country to save precious lives, children and adults.
6/7 With the US-Taliban Agmt, US-Afgh Joint Declaration, broad intl support for peace & start of intra-Afghan negotiations, the intra-Afghan war and killing have lost their legitimacy in the eyes of the overwhelming number of Afghans who need and yearn for peace and security.
7/7 The Islamic Republic and the Taliban must respect the demands of their people and reach a political agreement as soon as possible. The United States stands with the people of Afghanistan.
۴/۷ – د هغو موخه نفاق رامنځته کول او د تاوتریخوالي په کارولو سره د هغو افغانانو شاته کول دي چې سولې، د تاوتریخوالي تلپاتي ختمولو، او یوه سوکاله افغانستان ته ژمن دي. دا دښمن باید رد شي.
۵/۷ – موږ پر ټولو غاړو غږ کوو چې اورکم کړي او په چټکۍ اوربند وکړي. په ګډه او په نړیوال ملاتړ، دوي باید په ټول هیواد کې د ناچاودل شوو توکو او ماینونو سره مبارزه وکړي تر څو د ماشومانو او غټانو ارزښتناکه ژوند وژغوري.
۶/۷ – د متحدو ایالتونو – طالبانو د هوکړه-لیک، د متحدو ایالتونو – افغانستان د ګډې اعلامیې، سولې او د بین الافغاني مذاکراتو پیل نه د پراخ نړیوال ملاتړ په شتون کې، په ډیرو افغانانو کې چې سولې او امنیت ته اړتیا او هیله لري، بین الافغاني جګړې او وژنو مشروعیت بایللی دی.
۷/۷ – اسلامي جمهوریت او طالبان باید د خپلو خلکو د غوښتنو درناوی وکړي او هر څومره ژر چې شونی وي، یوه سیاسي توافق ته ورسیږي. متحده ایالتونه د افغانستان له خلکو سره ولاړ دی.
۱/۷ – خبر مرگ شمار زیاد بیگناهان از غزنی، که اکثریت آنان اطفال بودند، جانگداز است. ما در غم و اندوهی که حالا خانواده های قربانیان متحمل آن اند، شریکیم.
۲/۷ – کشتن و مرگ افغانها، به شمول غیرنظامیان، بسیار معمول شده است.
۳/۷ – ما سطح بلند خشونت های جاری را تقبیح نموده تمام آنهای را که این گونه حملات، که وحشت و خونریزی میآفریند، را اجازه و انجام میدهند، محکوم میکنیم.
۴/۷ – هدف آنها ایجاد نفاق و استفاده از خشونت برای تضعیف افغانهایی است که به صلح، ختم دایمی خشونت، و یک افغانستان مرفه متعهد اند. این دشمن باید رد شود.
۵/۷ – ما از تمام جوانب میخواهیم که خشونت را کاهش داده و سریعاً به سوی آتش بس بروند. یکجا و با حمایت بین المللی، آنها باید همچنان در تمام کشور به خطرات مواد منفجر ناشده و ماین ها رسیدگی نمایند تا حیات ارزشمند کودکان و بزرگسالان نجات یابد.
۶/۷ – در موجودیت توافقنامه ایالات متحده – طالبان، اعلامیه مشترک ایالات متحده – افغانستان، حمایت گسترده بینالمللی از صلح و آغاز مذاکرات بین الافغانی، از نظر شمار زیاد افغانهای که به صلح و امنیت نیاز دارند و آرزوی آنرا دارند، جنگ و کشتن بین الافغانی مشروعیت اش را از دست داده است
۷/۷ – جمهوری اسلامی و طالبان باید به خواسته های مردم شان احترام کنند و هر چه زودتر به یک توافق سیاسی برسند. ایالات متحده در کنار مردم افغانستان ایستاده است.

1/4 Good to see the Afghanistan High Council for National Reconciliation (HCNR) become operational today with its first Leadership Committee meeting. The gathering of political leaders across the political spectrum is an important step. state.gov/u-s-welcomes-f…
2/4 This Committee will be an authoritative body for the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan as it negotiates the terms of a peace agreement, power-sharing, and a permanent and comprehensive ceasefire with the Taliban.
3/4 Having completed the rules and procedures, the Islamic Republic and Taliban teams are now in the next phase of negotiations, having started with their first meeting on the agenda in Doha.
2/3 From there, headed to #Doha to see how best we can help the sides build on the success of their recent agreement on rules and procedures and make quick progress on a political roadmap and permanent and comprehensive ceasefire.
3/3 I'll also be traveling in the region to garner more international support for the #AfghanPeaceProcess.
1/4 The attack today on Kabul University claimed by ISIS was horrendous. I condemn it and offer my heartfelt condolences to the families of the victims.
2/4 The terrorist perpetrators are not just against education but are pro-ignorance. They want to breed chaos and instability, terror and poverty. They oppose and fear peace and seek a permanent state of war.
3/4 This barbaric attack is NOT an opportunity for the government and the Taliban to score points against each other. There is a common enemy here.
1/4 I return to the region disappointed that despite commitments to lower violence, it has not happened. The window to achieve a political settlement will not stay open forever. state.gov/special-repres…
2/4 Intransigence and a refusal to abandon animosity, embrace fellow citizens, and agree on a formula for political cooperation/competition underpin the ongoing war.
3/4 Afghans are dying at a high rate, and regional spoilers are using Afghans as cannon fodder for their illegitimate objectives. Bloodshed must end.
1/6 Afghanistan's Independent Human Rights Commission has confirmed 12 children were killed and many more injured in an air strike by Afghan government forces.
2/6 This is a terrible tragedy. Unfortunately, tragedy is not limited to Takhar. Civilians are victims of car bombs, IEDs, and targeted killings perpetrated by the Taliban. Civilians have been forced to flee fighting in Lashkar Gah and other areas.
3/6 We offer our condolences to all the families of those killed and injured.
1/9 Unfounded charges of violations and inflammatory rhetoric do not advance peace. Instead, we should pursue strict adherence to all articles of the U.S.-Taliban Agreement and U.S.-Afghanistan Joint Declaration and not neglect the commitment to gradually reduce violence.
2/9 Continued high levels of violence can threaten the peace process and the agreement and the core understanding that there is no military solution. Violence today remains distressingly high in spite of the recent reaffirmation of the need for substantial reduction.
3/9 Taliban attacks in Helmand, including on the provincial capital; Taliban attacks against Afghan security forces; & Taliban complaints of ANSF operations and coalition strikes led to a recent meeting in Doha.
