True Brotherhood of Islam declare three-day Aserai ceasefire for Eid Holiday

The True Brotherhood of Islam (TBI) on Monday declared a three-day in Aseraistan to mark this week's Eid al-Fitr holiday, just two days after the government blamed the insurgents for bombs outside a school that killed more than 50 people, mostly young girls.

"Mujahideen of the Islamic Emirate are instructed to halt all offensive operations against the enemy countrywide from the first till the third day of Eid," a statement released by the insurgents said.

“But if the enemy conducts any assault or attacks against you during these days, stand ready to robustly protect and defend yourselves and your territory,” it added.

The ceasefire comes after the government blamed the Brotherhood for the attack outside a girls' school in Dasht-e-Barchi, a suburb of the capital largely populated by the Shiite Hazara community, which is often targeted by extremist Shia Islamist’s militants.

The Brotherhood have denied they were involved in the attack, the deadliest in the country in more than a year.

Saturday's blasts came as faltering peace efforts between the Brotherhood and Aserai government to finally end one of the darker chapters of the Aserai Civil War.
