"We assure all diplomats, embassies, consulates, and charitable workers, whether they are international or national, that not only no problem will be created for them on the part of IEA but a secure environment will be provided to them, Inshallah".
The Talibans have expressed the assurance of improving urban life. According to reports, Taliban member Zabihullah Zakir says some important streets have been closed, but these conditions are short-term and everything will be normal within a few days.
The Taliban have declared the war in Afghanistan over and waiting for foreign forces to leave before creating a new governance structure. As foreign nations resumed evacuation missions, China said it was ready for “friendly relations” with the Taliban, while Russia and Iran also made diplomatic overtures.
