Mullah Abdul Salam Hanafi, the Taliban prime minister’s administrative deputy, said in a meeting with the Islamic Emirate’s consulate in Karachi that Afghanistan’s missions abroad should work to strengthen relations with countries around the world.

Meanwhile, the Khaama Press recently reported that as the Taliban’s hardline government continues to violate the rights of Afghan women under its regime, some international organizations and human rights bodies have routinely raised concerns about the country’s gender-based policies.

Amnesty International has dubbed the strict restrictions in Afghanistan a “war on women”, stressing the importance of prosecuting violators.

Additionally, it has documented multiple incidents in Taliban-controlled Afghanistan, demonstrating gender-based discrimination tactics against women in its most recent report. (Arnie)
