Ten insurgents laid down their weapons and surrendered to authorities in southern Kandahar province, local officials said.
The men were active in the Panjwaye district of Kandahar and organised anti-government activities there, provincial spokesman Zulmai Ayoubi told TOLOnews.
Mr Ayoubi added that security will improve as more insurgents renounce violence in the province.
Separately, in western Herat province 20 insurgents including their commander, Mullah Abdul Ghani, surrendered to the government in the Gularan district of the province which lies about 640km from Kabul, provincial governor Daud Saba said.
The men fought against the government in the district, he said.
The commander and their men submitted their weapons to security troops, he added.
In the past eight months, 400 insurgent groups have joined the Afghan peace process in the province, officials said.
Dozens of insurgents have recently joined the peace process in the provinces after Afghan and Nato forces increased military operations to clear the country of insurgents.
