Afghanistan evacuations continue as Taliban reestablishes Ministry of Virtue and Vice

Kabul, September 9 (RHC)-- Around 200 Americans and other foreign nationals are scheduled to fly out of Afghanistan for Qatar as international passenger flights from Kabul airport are expected to resume. 

Tens of thousands of Afghans, including many who qualify for U.S. special visas, are still hoping to evacuate, but their fate remains unclear.

Meanwhile, the Taliban continues to form its government, restoring its “Ministry for Propagation of Virtue and Prevention of Vice.”  The move stoked fears the new regime will again use violence to suppress women’s rights and enforce strict morality codes related to dress and daily activities for all Afghans.
