US envoy says 4th Doha meeting on the cards
Washington’s chargé d’affaires to Afghanistan, Karen Decker, said Wednesday a 4th Doha meeting on Afghanistan will be held in the near future but that before this can take place, many discussions need to be held.
In a discussion with journalists, Decker said Afghanistan’s problems are very complex and in order to deal with them, the United Nations intends to appoint a special representative.
UN representatives clearly stated this at the last Doha meeting, in Qatar early this month, she said adding that the appointment of a central figure to take the lead on the Afghanistan situation was needed.
She also said that at the last Doha meeting, special representatives of countries that attended put the rights of Afghan women at the center of their strategies and warned the Islamic Emirate that Afghanistan would not progress by excluding half of its population from society.
Decker emphasized that the world will judge the current government of Afghanistan based on their actions.
She added that practically nothing has happened to lift the sanctions or integrate the caretaker government with the international community.
“We have not given in to the demands of the Taliban (IEA). The Taliban have demands that they have not achieved. They want foreign exchange reserves to be released. Sanctions should be lifted. Afghanistan’s seat in the United Nations should be given to the Taliban, but such things have not happened,” she said.
Ehsanullah Kamgar, spokesperson for the Badakhshan Provincial Police Command, said that 12 people were killed and three others were seriously injured in a traffic accident in Arghanjkhwah district of the province.

According to him, the victims include men, women and children.
He explained that the incident happened when a Flancoach -type vehicle veered off the road due to poor road conditions and plunged into a ravine.
The injured were transferred to health centers for treatment, and the condition of some of them has been reported as critical.
The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan has approved a plan to grant foreign investors residency permits ranging from one to ten years in exchange for investment in the country.
The decision was endorsed during a regular meeting of the Economic Commission, chaired by Deputy Prime Minister for Economic Affairs Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar.
