By Hafeez Wazir

WANA: A jirga of the Ahmedzai Wazir tribe on Saturday negotiated a successful ceasefire between the Taliban and government forces in South Waziristan.

“Both sides have agreed to a ceasefire,” MNA Abdul Malik told Daily Times after holding talks with Political Agent Shahab Ali Khan.

Malik said the Taliban had made two demands, including the removal of two government checkposts. “We have only agreed to the ceasefire. All demands will be considered later,” he added.
