(ANSA) - KABUL, 18 DEC - The Taliban authorities today announced the resumption of the passport service in Kabul, thus offering hope to many Afghans to be able to leave the country soon.
"Passport issuance will begin tomorrow in three regions, including Kabul," Alam Gul Haqqani, head of the service, told reporters.
Passport issuance had been halted in mid-August, when the Taliban took power, and had briefly started in October but the large influx of requests had caused technical problems, forcing the authorities to suspend it after a few days.
