Afghanistan's political and economic issues along with humanitarian aid were discussed between Taliban and European Union delegates, according to the Tolo News.

The Taliban after the siege of Afghanistan is trying to deliver a moderate image to the world in an attempt to gain international confidence but experts say that Afghan women are most likely to face an uncertain future under the terrorist group regime.

The Taliban, after the siege, proposed a ban on coeducation. Terrorist group's officials had also ordered that girls will no longer be allowed to sit in the same classes as boys in universities, Khaama Press report. (ANI)
