Fox News
Canada’s minister for women and gender equality referred to the Taliban as “our brothers” during a virtual news conference Wednesday morning.
"We call on you to immediately stop the violence, the genocide, the femicide, the destruction of infrastructure, including heritage buildings," she continued. "We call on you to immediately return to the peacekeeping table, to the peace deal that was negotiated, and to ensure that women and minority voices are a part of that discussion in a meaningful way." Monsef, a member of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberal Party, was frequently touted as Canada's first Afghan-born member of Parliament until she conceded she was actually born in Iran, CTV News reported in 2016.More Related News
