Afghanistan's supreme leader and chief of Taliban, Hibatullah Akhundzada, issued a decree over the weekend ordering women to cover up fully, ideally with a traditional all-covering burqa.

  • Afghan women protest against foreign recognition of Taliban

    Afghan women protest in Kabul, defying a dissent crackdown to voice opposition to foreign nations formally recognising the Taliban government.

But Stephane Dujarric, the spokesman for secretary-general Antonio Guterres, on Wednesday stressed that Mohammed "was not in any way implying that anyone else but member states have the authority for recognition" of Afghanistan's government.
