Humanitarian aid tops agenda as Taliban meet Western officials

Hunger now threatens 23 million Afghans, or 55 percent of the population, according to the United Nations. AFP

The group was toppled in 2001 but swiftly stormed back to power in August as international troops began their final withdrawal. "But we must talk to the de facto authorities in the country. We cannot allow the political situation to lead to an even worse humanitarian disaster," Huitfeldt said.The humanitarian situation in Afghanistan has deteriorated drastically since August.

Hunger now threatens 23 million Afghans, or 55 per cent of the population, according to the United Nations, which says it needs $4.4 billion from donor countries this year to address the humanitarian crisis. While the Taliban claim to have modernised, women are still largely excluded from public employment and secondary schools for girls remain largely closed.On the first day of the Oslo talks held behind closed doors, the Taliban delegation is expected to meet Afghans from civil society, including women leaders and journalists.

"If we look at what happened in the talks of the past three years, the Taliban keep getting what they demand from the international community and the Afghan people, but there is not one single thing that they have delivered from their side," she said.
