KABUL: The Afghan government and the Taliban on Thursday resumed prisoner swap talks after weeks of deadly violence and an impasse that delayed the beginning of peace negotiations for nearly two months.
Over the next few days, they will discuss technicalities on the release of the remaining 6,000 prisoners to be released by both sides.
“A five-member technical delegation was sent to Kabul for registration and verification of prisoners. The team will help to solve the technical problems,” Suhail Shaheen, a Taliban spokesperson said.
