Yeah this is good news. Finally, Afghans have decided to take the road to rational and practical ways of life rather than radical jihadi ways of Taliban. This is a very good initiative for the country to reform and become an image of pre-AKP Turkey of Asia. Very good initiative. I wish them all the best to get out of Pakistan's mulla shadow and become a peaceful and stable country once again.
