Afghan women stage protest outside government office, ask for roles in new Cabinet

'We want the world to hear us and we want our rights to be saved,' said Friba Kabrzani, one of the protest's organizers.

Kabul's airport, a major way out of the country, is now in Taliban hands but is closed, and Qatari Foreign Minister Mohammad bin Abdulrahman Al Thani warned Thursday that there's still"no clear indication" of when it will reopen.

"We remain hopeful we will be able to operate it as soon as possible," Al Thani told reporters in Doha."We are still in the evaluation process. We are working very hard and engaging with the Taliban to identify what are the gaps and the risks for having the airport back up and running." Qatar, a tiny Gulf Arab sheikhdom that has played an outsized role in American efforts to evacuate tens of thousands of people from Afghanistan, said it remains in talks with other world powers to enable the capital's airport to resume commercial flights.

Although the United Kingdom won't formally recognize the Taliban"anytime in the foreseeable future," Raab said,"there is an important scope for engagement and dialogue to test the intentions and indeed the assurances that have already been made by the Taliban."
