Taliban delegation meets with Western representatives in Oslo Israel today

Members of a Taliban delegation are holding a series of meetings today (Monday) with representatives of Western countries in Oslo, the capital of Norway, in an attempt to obtain international humanitarian aid to Afghanistan, which is in an unprecedented shortage.

These are the first official and direct talks between representatives of the Taliban government, which took over a country in September, and are expected to last three days and include a range of humanitarian issues.

Yesterday, Taliban representatives met with human rights activists from Afghanistan.

Jamila Afghan, a feminist activist who attended the rally, told AFP after the meeting that "the negotiations took place in an atmosphere of goodwill. It now remains to be seen what the Taliban's actions will be and whether they will fit the words we were told."

Taliban officials are expected to seek billions of dollars in aid from Western countries after food shortages and basic commodities along with severe inflation hit the country's economy since it was taken over by the extremist religious organization and foreign investment, along with humanitarian aid, has stopped flowing.

A report by the UN Food and Agriculture Organization states that 95 percent of Afghanistan's population suffers from one or another level of food shortages and much of the country is in a state of real famine.

The Taliban are also expected to seek billions of dollars that used to belong to the previous Afghan government, and are held in bank accounts in the United States.

Representatives of human rights organizations in Oslo,

Along with the kind words of the organization's representatives in Oslo, the Taliban regime in Afghanistan violently dispersed over the weekend a series of demonstrations by women in the country, protesting the Taliban authorities' continued actual ban on women being educated or working.

The demonstrators were attacked with pepper spray and some were electrocuted by Taliban members who violently dispersed the demonstration.

Following the suppression of the protest, the Taliban authorities organized a large demonstration by supporters of the organization in the capital, Kabul, during which calls were made against women's education and in favor of "applying the laws of morality and modesty."

In addition, the organization began arresting and kidnapping social activists leading the protest.
