Taliban Appoints New Governor for Kabul

The EU delegation has mentioned that the World Food Programme (WFP) is its partner in providing food to Afghans.

WFP had previously announced that it would help 15 million Afghans in need of support this year.

The United Nations and many international relief organisations have predicted that this year’s winter will be "difficult" for Afghan citizens.

With the return of the Taliban to power in August 2021, the majority of Afghan citizens have lost their jobs and many have migrated to regional countries due to the difficult economic and political situation in Afghanistan.

According to the Taliban's foreign ministry, the Pakistani delegation has emphasised on solving the problems of Afghan immigrants and said that the two countries should cooperate on the issue.

The Pakistani embassy in Kabul has also published a statement as saying that Rabbani met with a number of senior Taliban officials in Kabul and has discussed bilateral issues including education, health, trade and investment, regional connectivity, and economic projects.

Hina Rabbani and a delegation of Pakistani officials arrived in Kabul on Tuesday. Earlier, a Pakistani diplomat had stressed that Rabbani will discuss the opening of girls’ schools with the Taliban.

Abdul Latif Nazari, the Taliban’s Deputy Minister of Economy, along with the Pakistani Ambassador in Kabul, had received the Pakistani delegation at the Kabul airport.

The Taliban-controlled central bank regularly announces at least once or twice a week of the receipt of millions of dollars in the name of humanitarian aid.

Many observers have continuously criticised the international community and said that it should not send its humanitarian assistance to the Taliban.

The international community which has not recognised the Taliban government in Afghanistan, has continuously emphasised that it provides aid to Afghanistan through international organisations, such as the United Nations.

Salim emphasised on the establishment of an inclusive government in Afghanistan.

The Herat Security Dialogue started on Tuesday in Tajikistan and is focused on "Inclusive Political System: The Way Forward".

Several Afghan and foreign politicians, experts, and researchers have participated in the 10th round of the dialogue.

Herat Security Dialogue is one of the most important conferences about the security of Afghanistan and the region, which has been organised by the Afghan Institute for Strategic Studies since the past ten years.

After the fall of Afghanistan to the Taliban, Herat Security Dialogue has been held outside of Afghanistan for the first time.

Earlier, reliable sources said that the governments of Pakistan and Iran have not allowed two important participants of the dialogue to attend the event.

On Monday, reliable sources told Afghanistan International that Mohammad Ismail Khan, a prominent Afghan political leader living in Iran, has not been allowed to attend the conference.

According to the sources, Ismail Khan was invited to the meeting, but apparently, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) prevented him from travelling to Tajikistan.

On Sunday, Mohsen Dawar, a member of Pakistan's House of Representatives and one of the leaders of the Pashtun Protection Movement, announced that Pakistan’s Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) had not allowed him to travel to Tajikistan.
