Ceasefire Deal in Peshawar, Pakistan

A ceasefire deal was mediated by the Pakistani government between rival sectarian groups in Peshawar, Pakistan, after days of violent clashes that resulted in at least 68 deaths. The violence stemmed from a long-standing tribal and sectarian rivalry over a land dispute near the Afghanistan border. Both sides agreed to a weeklong ceasefire with the possibility of extension, exchanging prisoners and bodies with the help of Pakistani paramilitary forces.
