Taliban and Pakistan agree to ceasefire after days of deadly clashes

The Taliban and Pakistan have agreed to a ceasefire after days of deadly clashes along the border. The clashes erupted last week, with both sides claiming to have inflicted heavy casualties on the other. The Taliban and Pakistan have been engaged in a tense relationship since the Taliban's takeover of Afghanistan in 2021. The agreement to cease hostilities is a significant development, as the border region has been a flashpoint for violence between the two sides. The ceasefire is expected to provide a much-needed respite from the ongoing tensions and allow for diplomatic efforts to address the underlying issues between the two countries. However, the long-term stability of the agreement remains to be seen, as the relationship between the Taliban and Pakistan has been fraught with challenges in the past.
