Pause in Fight Between Pakistan and Afghanistan

129

Pakistan and Afghanistan have a fight. There were battles at the border. Pakistan made air strikes in Afghanistan. Many people died there. A house for sick people was also hit. Many families look for their relatives there. Now there is a short pause in the fighting.

The reason for the pause is a festival. This festival is called Eid al-Fitr. It is an important festival for Muslims. The government of Pakistan and the Taliban decided this. The Taliban rule in Afghanistan. Both sides do not want to shoot during this time.

The situation at the border stays hard. Pakistan says: Terror groups hide in Afghanistan. These groups attack Pakistan. The Taliban says: This is not true. People in the area hope for peace. The pause is first meant for the festival.
