AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

Road Safety Crisis: A truck carrying Afghan returnees from Pakistan overturned on the Kabul–Jalalabad highway in Laghman province, killing at least 18 people including 10 children and leaving dozens injured; later reports put the toll at 20, with officials citing poor roads, reckless driving, and weak enforcement. Returnee Pressure: The crash comes as hundreds of thousands of Afghans have been returning from Pakistan amid tighter rules and deportations, with families often traveling long distances in overloaded vehicles. Humanitarian/Protection: The Netherlands announced it will grant asylum to most Afghan women and girls, saying conditions under Taliban rule have worsened further, including restrictions on education, work, and movement. Regional Security: Russia signed a military-technical cooperation deal with the Taliban in Moscow, deepening security ties after Moscow recognized the group as Afghanistan’s government. Social Harm: A report renewed attention on “Bacha Bazi,” describing ongoing sexual exploitation of boys despite Taliban claims of opposition.
