「塔利班」20180609日首次宣布，與阿富汗政府軍停火3天。

停火（又稱停戰）是指處於武力衝突的各方同意暫時停止交戰的行為，發起停火的國家或組織可以是介入衝突的某一方，或者是與衝突無直接關係的第三方介入協調。

The Taliban announced its first ceasefire in Afghanistan since the 2001 US invasion on Saturday, with a three-day halt in hostilities against the country’s security forces that was greeted with relief by war-weary Afghans.

But the group warned the suspension of fighting for the first three days of Eid, the holiday that caps off Ramadan, did not extend to “foreign occupiers”, who would continue to be targeted by the militants.

The unexpected move came two days after the Afghan government’s own surprise announcement of a week-long halt to operations against the Taliban.

It is the first time in nearly 17 years of conflict that the militants have declared a ceasefire, albeit a limited one.

“All the mujahideen are directed to stop offensive operations against Afghan forces for the first three days of Eid-al-Fitr,” the Taliban said in a WhatsApp message to journalists.

But it added that “if the mujahideen are attacked we will strongly defend (ourselves)”.

The Taliban said “foreign occupiers are the exception” to the order sent to its fighters around the country.

“Our operations will continue against them, we will attack them wherever we see them,” it said.

Even a brief cessation of hostilities would bring welcome relief to civilians in the war-torn country, nearly two decades after the Taliban regime was toppled.

A ceasefire (or truce), also called cease fire, is a temporary stoppage of a war in which each side agrees with the other to suspend aggressive actions. Ceasefires may be declared as part of a formal treaty, but they have also been called as part of an informal understanding between opposing forces. A ceasefire is usually more limited than a broader armistice, which is a formal agreement to end fighting. Successful ceasefires may be followed by armistices, and finally by peace treaties.

，伊斯蘭教適逢齋戒月，阿富汗總統甘尼（Ashraf Ghani）20180607日宣布，將於齋戒月的第27天到「開齋節」的第5天暫時停火後，「塔利班」也跟著宣布將於本月中旬伊斯蘭教「開齋節」期間停火3天，不過並未說明確切停火時間。

 執行嚴苛伊斯蘭教令的塔利班政權在2001年下台後，持續與接受美國支持的現今政府戰鬥長達17年，企圖奪回政權。

阿富汗總統甘尼（Ashraf Ghani）2014當選總統後在1個月後就.

訪問中國,尋求中國的全面救援與戰後重建工作,諸多的基礎建設工程,公路,鐵路,橋樑,發電廠,機場,學校,醫院及為首頗多的政府機關建築物,阿富汗總統甘尼（Ashraf Ghani）甚至於要求中國出兵蕩平清除阿富汗反抗軍「塔利班」組織成員,不過中國截至目前為止,並未出兵進攻阿富汗反抗軍「塔利班」組織成員

,

反而於2016年與該組織達成協議,不介入阿富汗內政與內戰,但是中國基於人道救援,派出醫療組織小組,協助阿富汗老百姓就醫,當然也包括反抗軍「塔利班」組織成員,但是根據美國情報透露中國有援助為數不詳的食物,衣物,醫療用品及無線電等輕武器物質.給予阿富汗反抗軍「塔利班」組織成員.

.

同時期中國也允諾並協助訓練阿富汗政府軍及提供武器裝備,並將政治訓練課程,融入阿富汗軍隊中,換句話說中國將訓練阿富汗部隊,效忠國家,人民及領袖的思想教育等系統課程,也就是阿富汗軍隊將建立類似中國軍隊中的”政委”的人士組織,以便監督軍方各及軍官,尤其是軍方高階將領.阿富汗向來以伊斯蘭教思想,控制住他們的言行舉止,甚至於影響戰爭,經濟發展等.

阿富汗總統甘尼（Ashraf Ghani）自從甘尼（Ashraf Ghani）總統於2014年10月訪問中國大陸以來，阿富汗與中共的安全、外交與經貿關係已經提升到了一種前所未有的緊密態勢。阿富汗學者卡哈里（Ahmad Bilal Khalil）在發表於《外交家》上的一份稿子中，表示甘尼總統在那次訪問大陸的行程中，讓習近平開口宣佈將向喀布爾提供3億2,900萬美金的補助。

早從2001年美軍出兵阿富汗，並且推翻了激進的塔利班政府以後，北京當局就積極發展與喀布爾的外交與經濟關係。而在阿富汗於2014年建立民族團結政府以後，這樣的合作關係顯然已經擴張到了安全層面上。卡哈里認為，阿富汗目前顯然高估了中共在安全議題上扮演的角色，但是雙方的合作在他看來其實也只是剛剛開始而已。

在「一帶一路」的戰略指導下，中共即將投資設立中國－巴基斯坦經濟走廊（China-Pakistan Economic Corridor）。此一措施，可根本性的幫助阿富汗消除伊斯蘭國的威脅，同時也阻止激進維吾爾人在中亞發展勢力。早從中共與蘇聯決裂開始，北京就積極尋求改善與喀布爾的關係。1965年，中共與阿富汗簽署了一份邊界協定。這是有史以來，阿富汗第一次獨立與外國簽署的條約。 

塔利班分子會和阿富汗安全部隊軍人擁抱，並與阿國平民自拍同樂，總統甘尼呼籲組織成員往和談的方向邁進，他也強調自己已準備與塔利班進行全面談判，因為開齋節帶來的景象代表阿富汗可以成為和平的國度。Some Afghan soldiers and Taliban militants embrace, take selfies amid unprecedented cease fire, as Pres. Ghani extends the truce another day.
