Officials from Afghanistan's Taliban administration traveled to Norway this week for meetings with civil society and diplomats at a peace forum, Norway’s foreign minister said. The visit came amid a severe humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan following 20 years of war and with many countries pulling back on aid after Taliban orders that stopped many Afghan female humanitarian staff from working. "Norway invited three civil servant-level individuals working for the Afghan de facto authorities in Kabul to this year's Oslo Forum. They met Afghan civil society and representatives from other countries," Norwegian Foreign Minister Anniken Huitfeldt told Reuters. To read the original story by Reuters, click here.
