The commission said in a statement that it has decided to stamp original identity cards of voters to allow them to cast their votes in the coming elections in the country. 

NATO's Resolute Support mission in Afghanistan has said that the Afghan National Security and Defense Forces (ANDSF) played a key role in pushing back the Taliban from Farah city.
