Qatar hold Taliban’s hand

​By a staff reporter:


Qatar's Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani arrived in Kabul on Sunday and held talks with Mullah Muhammad Hasan Akhund, the acting prime minister of Taliban-ruled Afghanistan. It was the highest-level foreign visit to Kabul since the militant group seized the capital last month. Qatar's foreign minister also met Abdullah Abdullah, a senior official in the previous Afghan government, and former Afghan President Hamid Karzai. Meanwhile, the Taliban has said that women can continue to study in universities, including at post-graduate levels, but classrooms will be gender-segregated and Islamic dress is compulsory.
