The EU Delegation, in agreement with the EU Heads of Mission based in Kabul, considers the ceasefire observed by the parties to the conflict during Eid as an encouraging first step.  It provided the people of Afghanistan with a much-needed but only temporary sense of relief.  The path to a lasting peace is through such confidence-building measures, not further senseless violence.
