Afghan Taliban Rescind Ban On Red Cross
The Afghan Taliban rescinded a months-long ban on the International Committee for Red Cross working in areas under their control Sunday and restored security guarantees for those working for the organisation.
Taliban fighters were instructed to “pave the way for ICRC activities and be mindful of security to this committee’s workers and equipment,” it added. In April the insurgents banned both the ICRC and World Health Organization from carrying out relief activities in areas under their control and revoked security guarantees.
In August last year, the Taliban temporarily withdrew safety guarantees for the ICRC, accusing the international group of failing to meet its mission obligations to monitor detention conditions in Afghan jails and provide medical aid to Taliban prisoners.
