Qatar calls Taliban moves on girls education ‘very disappointing’
Al Jazeera
Speaking alongside the EU’s Josep Borrell, Sheikh Mohammed called on the Taliban to maintain ‘gains’ made in past years.
Qatar’s top diplomat says the Taliban’s moves on girls’ education in Afghanistan are “very disappointing” and “a step backwards”, and called on the group’s leadership to look to Doha for how to run an Islamic system.
Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani was referring to, among other things, the Taliban’s refusal to allow Afghan female secondary school students to resume their studies, weeks after the group took power.
He spoke at a news conference on Thursday with European Union Foreign Policy Chief Josep Borrell in Doha.
