Afghan women protest in Kabul, defying a dissent crackdown to voice opposition to foreign nations formally recognising the Taliban government. Ahead of a United Nations-convened international meeting on Afghanistan in Doha next week, UN Deputy Secretary-General Amina Mohammed said diplomats could discuss "baby steps" that could put the Taliban government on the path to recognition, albeit with conditions attached. 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.
