Amina Mohammed: The international community should not ignore the violation of women’s and girls’ rights in Afghanistan
Amina Mohammed, the UN Deputy Secretary-General, in her latest remarks, called on the international community not to remain silent in the face of the Taliban’s violation of women’s and girls’ rights in Afghanistan. She stressed that women’s rights are not a marginal issue and must be at the center of engagement with the ruling authorities.
The senior UN official added that pressure must continue until Afghan women and girls achieve all their basic rights, including the right to education and work.

Earthquake victims in Kunar face more difficult conditions in winter
Families affected by the earthquake in Kunar province are grappling with a dire situation as the cold season begins and humanitarian aid dwindles. Many of these families are still living in temporary shelters without heating facilities.
Local residents say the aid received has been insufficient and are calling on aid agencies and the international community to address their situation before a humanitarian disaster occurs.

Formation of a joint committee to review and follow up on the reopening of Afghanistan-Pakistan trade crossings
Following tensions and repeated closures of trade crossings between Afghanistan and Pakistan, officials from both countries have agreed to establish a joint committee. This committee is tasked with investigating the causes of the problems and providing solutions for the permanent reopening and facilitation of the trade process.
These crossings, especially Torkham and Spin Boldak, are vital economic lifelines for Afghanistan, and their closure has widespread negative impacts on people’s lives and the country’s economy.
