During the past few days, the Iranian government has forcibly expelled thousands of Afghan refugees. At times, repatriation is appropriate and justified. I do not believe this is such a time. Even if it is, the manner in which it is being done, abruptly and with no coordination

Deeply concerned by the Taliban's latest attempt to weaponise the media for political control through a new policy. The latest guideline, issued by its so-called moderate Ministry of Information and Culture, mandates that TV and radio stations may only produce talk shows under

The Ambassador of the Russian Federation, Mr. Dmitry Zhirnov, called on IEA-Foreign Minister Mawlawi Amir Khan Muttaqi. During the meeting, the Ambassador of Russian Federation officially conveyed his government’s decision to recognize the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan,
