Ceasefire ends in Afghanistan
Afghan security forces resume an offensive against Taliban militants after 18 days of unilateral ceasefire. Earlier, the Taliban refused a government request to extend the truce. The militants also launched a series of attacks across the country, killing scores of civilians and security forces. On Tuesday, the Taliban pledged to continue their fight against the government till foreign forces withdraw from Afghanistan. Afghan President Ashraf Ghani declared an end to the government's unilateral ceasefire with Taliban earlier on Saturday.
US claims Saudi Arabia has promised oil production rise
The United States says the Saudi King has promised President Donald Trump to boost oil production. A White House statement says King Salman has affirmed that Saudi Arabia has a two-million-barrel per day spare capacity that it will use prudently, when necessary. Earlier on Saturday, President Trump tweeted that he had asked Saudi Arabia to increase oil production, because of dysfunction in Iran and Venezuela. Trump said the Saudi King had agreed to the US demand to make up the difference. Trump is pushing countries around the world to cut oil imports from Iran by November. That’s when Washington is set to re-impose sanctions on Tehran, following its withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal.
Koreas resume naval communications
South Korea's Defense Ministry says the country’s navy has reopened a maritime communication channel with the North Korean navy for the first in a decade. According to the ministry, vessels from the two countries made radio contact in the western sea on Sunday. It said a North Korean patrol boat responded immediately when contacted via an international channel. The move is the latest in a series of attempts to thaw strained relations between the two Koreas. It is also in line with agreements made on April 27, when their leaders decided to defuse military tensions in a gradual manner.
African Union urges action on South Sudan
The African Union chief has called for action after a ceasefire to end bloodshed in South Sudan was violated again. Moussa Faki Mahamat says it’s time for the AU to act and take responsibility regarding South Sudan. Mahamat says the bloc needs to send a clear message to the key players in South Sudan about their truce violations. He has also warned about the dire humanitarian and security situation in the conflict-stricken country. The government and rebels agreed to a permanent ceasefire last week. But their agreement collapsed shortly after it came to force on Saturday. The oil-rich country has been plagued by a bloody war since 2013. The UN has given the warring sides until the end of June to end hostilities or face sanctions.
