Qatar will host 2,000 Afghan families on request from America

This agreement has become significant since US will be withdrawing its troops from Afghanistan. As per Taliban official in Doha, Qatar has agreed to naturalize 500 Afghans every year, and will provide them basic amenities such as housing, education, and health insurance. It was not easy to reach this conclusion as the conclusion of Doha would come after a high-tension meeting in Washington.

Afghanistan’s Interior Minister Abdul Sattar Mirzakwal mentioned that the security forces would try to ensure the safety of citizens. Still, Washington does not trust and has begun evoking the US embassy in Kabul. However, there was a different picture painted on tweeted by a spokesperson of Taliban, Zabihullah Mujahid. He declared that the Islamic Emirate orders all its forces to wait at the gates of Kabul, not to want to enter the city. But residents confirm the presence of armed Taliban fighters in their neighborhoods, and the number of dead would already be 68. According to the Taliban leader himself in Doha, the order would be to avoid violence and allow safe passage to anyone who decides to leave the city.
