Taliban announce ‘ban’ on Red Cross, WHO in Afghanistan vanguardngr.com vanguardnews

The International Committee of the Red Cross said Thursday it had suspended work in Afghanistan after the Taliban announced a “ban” against the humanitarian group and the World Health Organization.According to a Taliban statement, the ICRC had not “acted upon its agreements” with the Taliban.

As a result, the Taliban has “decided to ban the operation of these two organisations across the country until further notice,” the militants said, noting they would not guarantee health workers’ safety. “We acknowledge this announcement and have suspended our activities in the country due to the withdrawal of security guarantees,” Waudo told AFP.
