Suicide bombings and other attacks by the Taliban continue to kill many Afghans. Please pray for the dissolving of this extremist group of Islamists that want to take over this land and bring it under their retrogressive and barbarous ideology.

Pray for the Afghan government and army who are now taking over the main military operations against the Taliban from the tens of thousands of the 48 nation-coalition forces that have fought this battle for 12 years and are due to begin the process of withdrawing. May the Afghans be wise, effective and united in their fight to defend the nation from the Taliban threat.

There is also the possibility of direct peace talks with the Taliban by the United States. Let’s pray that through these talks the Taliban will give up their intention of overthrowing the Afghan government and taking over the nation.
