Norwegian Refugee Council chief Jan Egeland said on Jan. 19 that the U.S. order to halt foreign aid for 90 days will be "disastrous" in Afghanistan.

An executive order by U.S. President Donald Trump to suspend refugee admissions has magnified the fears of one Afghan American soldier who has long been worried about the fate of his sister in Kabul.

Normalizing regular contacts and building relationships with the Taliban leadership can offer a more effective way to hold the Islamic Emirate to account for its actions. It also gives greater promise of realizing American hopes for an Afghanistan inhospitable to global terrorists and more respectful of the human rights of its citizens.

Afghans who fled after the Taliban seized power have appealed to U.S. President Donald Trump to exempt them from an order suspending the relocation of refugees to the United States, some saying they risked their lives to support U.

In the very last hours of President Joe Biden’s time in office, a prisoner exchange years in the making was finally struck: the Taliban agreed to swap two Americans being held in Afghanistan for one Taliban member serving a life sentence in a US prison.

Sometimes the story needs to be retold, and the positions re-stated, as the audience changes, the stakeholders are overtaken by events, and the actors involved have other points of foci. Hence the TTP conundrum needs a restatement from Afghan and Pakistani standpoints to clear the mist and retain focus.

The Taliban won’t return any of the military equipment left behind by the US troops while exiting Afghanistan in 2021, a person familiar with the matter said.

The interim Afghan government conceded to the Pakistani authorities in closed door meetings that the banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) was a problem but objected to Islamabad's approach in dealing the issue, sources familiar with the development told The Express Tribune on Sunday.

The head of a major humanitarian organisation said U.S. President Donald Trump's order to halt foreign aid for 90 days would have immediate and disastrous consequences in Afghanistan where relief operations are already stretched thin.
