Taliban Say UN Promises Aid After Meeting With Officials in Kabul
5th September 2021
Senior Taliban officials met in Kabul on Sunday with the U.N. undersecretary-general for humanitarian affairs, who promised to maintain assistance for the Afghan people, Taliban spokesman Suhail Shaheen said.
I don’t suppose anybody suggested sealing off the borders and not letting anything in or out until the Taliban laid down their arms and restored the democratically-elected government. (But, of course, the U.N. has never insisted upon democratically-elected governments in its ranks.)
