In a pre-recorded video message, Balkh governor Atta Mohammad Noor called Ramadan (May 27 to June 24) the deadliest month for Afghanistan, saying that the reason behind the bloodshed is the inefficiency of security agencies. 

He said the country would face a crisis if reforms are not brought to government institutions – security agencies in particular.
