The Taliban has made history by participating in a United Nations-organised meeting for the first time. The two-day event in Doha will center around discussions on international engagement, the Afghan economy, and women’s rights.
This development comes as a significant step towards diplomatic engagement and potential peace talks in Afghanistan. The inclusion of the Taliban in such a high-level meeting indicates a shift in their approach towards international relations.
The focus on women’s rights is especially crucial, as the Taliban’s previous rule in Afghanistan was marked by severe restrictions on women’s rights and freedoms. This meeting provides an opportunity for the Taliban to address these concerns and demonstrate their commitment to progress and inclusivity.
Al Jazeera’s Imogen Kimber will bring you all the latest updates and insights from this historic meeting. Stay tuned for more developments on this important step towards peace and stability in Afghanistan.
