Sultan Barakat, Head of the Center for Conflict and Humanitarian Studies in Doha, announced the conclusion of the 10th “Afghanistan Future Thought Forum” in Doha.
In a post on X, he noted that the meeting, chaired by Afghan women rights activists, Fatima Gailani, was attended by 40 participants who focused on discussing the challenges facing Afghanistan.
Barakat stated that despite their differences, all participants unanimously rejected any return to war. As part of the Intra-Afghan Dialogue, he previously helped facilitate a meeting between 45 Afghan political and civil activists and a Taliban delegation on 20 October 2020 in Qatar.
On Saturday, Barakat further stated on his X account that during a session held from 12 to 14 February, 40 influential Afghans from various political and ethnic groups, both from within and outside Afghanistan, deliberated on the country’s pressing challenges. Key topics included efforts to lift the Taliban’s ban on girls’ education and the state of Afghanistan’s economy, particularly in light of the suspension of aid by the Trump administration.
He also mentioned that the forum had presented its proposals to Qatari diplomats, and Qatar has agreed to review them.
