Afghanistan International: A spokesman for the Taliban’s Ministry of Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice called the Pashtun Jirga of Pakistan the work of “ISI contractors and mercenaries” and a “conspiracy” of the organisation. Without naming anyone, Saif Khyber said that these people were taking advantage of the “compulsions of the Pashtun people”. The Taliban official’s harsh remarks came after participants of the Pashtun Jirga in Khyber supported the right of Afghan girls and women to education and the formation of an inclusive government in the country. Manzoor Pashteen, the leader of the Pashtun Protection Movement, read out the final statement of the National Justice Jirga in the presence of thousands of participants on Sunday evening local time. In his speech, Pashteen called on the participants of the Pashtun Jirga to ask the Afghan Taliban to open schools to girls and form an inclusive government. Click here to read more (external link).
