Manizha Bakhtari, Afghanistan’s ambassador to Austria, has announced the holding of the 12th “From Kabul to Vienna” festival.

The BBC in a recent report reflected the bitter accounts of Afghan families who, after the closure of U.S. funded clinics, have lost women and children.

Anas Haqqani, a member of the Haqqani network and a political figure of the Taliban, recently claimed in an interview that with the announcement of a “general amnesty” after the fall of the republic, the Taliban made history and are proud of it. He has asserted that after taking control of Afghanistan, the group established security across the country instead of seeking revenge.

The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) says that in natural disasters such as the recent earthquake in eastern Afghanistan, women and girls suffer the most, and therefore the presence of female aid workers must be at the center of relief operations.
