“As I leave the country for a few days to be with family during Eid-ul Fitr,” Abdullah Abdullah tweeted,“I want to offer prayers for the souls of all martyrs who fell victim to terror, while I wish my compatriots Eid mubarak as we end this Holy season. Our country, men & women, need to come together.”

He also advocated for the resolution of political, security, and economic challenges so that national institutions, political participation, and a peaceful living under the rule of law can be established.

During his visit, the former chairman of the High Council for National Reconciliation met with officials from the US and France.

Thomas West, the US special representative for Afghanistan, tweeted on May 26 that he had met Abdullah Abdullah, the former chairman of the High Council for National Reconciliation,“after many months”.
