AGP Executive Report

Last update: 4 hours ago

Taliban Women’s Rights Under Fresh UN Fire: UNAMA says the Taliban’s new “Code on Judicial Separation of Spouses” deepens discrimination by keeping divorce easier for men while women face restrictive procedures, and it flags child-marriage enabling language. Shia Religious Freedom Alarm: In Ghazni’s Nawabad district, Taliban “Promotion of Virtue” officers reportedly ordered Shia worshippers to pray Maghrib and Isha separately under Sunni rules, warning of detention or mosque closure for non-compliance. Hajj Logistics Update: The Taliban says 30,000 Afghans have been transferred to Saudi Arabia for Hajj via 97 flights, with medical teams included—though some pilgrims complain about service shortfalls. Rail Trade Boost: Deputy PM Mullah Baradar inaugurated the reopened fifth section of the Hairatan–Mazar-i-Sharif railway (70 km), aiming to speed exports and trade with Uzbekistan. Security & Weather: Pakistan-linked civilian-casualty claims dominate UN debate, while Afghanistan’s Taliban disaster authority reports severe storms and flooding killing at least six and affecting hundreds of families.
