Two New Gas Deposits Discovered In Badghis Province

UNICEF added that Denmark and South Korea have donated 5 million dollars each to the organisation.

For more than four hundred days, girls’ secondary and high schools have been closed by the Taliban in Afghanistan.

During this time, schoolteachers have also complained that they haven’t received their salaries.

Earlier, the US embassy’s Chargé d'Affaires had announced that she will visit Turkey to meet Afghan activists to find out how they relate to the situation inside Afghanistan.

The US diplomat met Afghan businesswomen outside Afghanistan at a time when most Afghan women activists have left the country due to the Taliban imposed restrictions or have left their jobs and businesses.

The Taliban have been accused of excluding women from social, political, and educational environments in Afghanistan, and despite the pressure of human rights groups, the Taliban remains restrictive regarding women and girls of Afghanistan.

According to the Taliban-controlled Bakhtar News Agency, the Taliban’s Minister of Mines and Petroleum added that a new team will be sent to Helmand to work on the exploration of mining sites.

Delawar considers Helmand a mineral-rich province and said that effective measures should be in place for extraction of the province’s mining sites.

Delawar had earlier said that the Taliban government will start the extraction of 150 new mining sites across Afghanistan.

He stressed that Russia has been very closely monitoring the situation in Afghanistan.

Without naming any country or organisation, the Russian diplomat said that terrorists receive financial support from outside Afghanistan.

However, he accused the United States and its allies of having a hand in de-stabilising Afghanistan and the country’s border regions.

The Russian Deputy Foreign Minister added that the weapons and ammunition left by the NATO military forces in Afghanistan have been used by terrorist groups.

Syromolotov added that since Afghanistan is a potential source of terrorist activities, Russia will remain in contact with the Taliban.

The Russian diplomat emphasised that the Taliban should fulfill their commitments to forming an inclusive government, fighting terrorism, countering narcotics, and respecting human rights in Afghanistan.

The Ministry of Defense of the Taliban also confirmed the attack on the employees of the 207th Al-Farooq Corps in Herat.

The ministry added that five people had been killed and several others were injured because of an attack by unknown armed men on a vehicle that was ferrying medical personnel of the Taliban.

In the past months, the Taliban’s Al-Farooq corps members have been regular targets of armed attack.
