The Taliban attack on an international aid organization in Kabul which continued for six hours was labelled a crime against civilians as it was condemned by the government, the United Nations and the US Embassy in Afghanistan.

President Ashraf Ghani in a statement said the Taliban once again showed they are against the will of the Afghan people, which was raised by 3,200 delegates at the grand council.

Findings by the Ministry of Labor, Social Affairs, Martyrs and Disabled show that at least 2.5 million Afghans are unemployed and the occupational safety in government and non-government institutions remains fragile.

Women in government and non-government institutions are still faced with “harassment”, said the Deputy Minister of Labor Sayed Abdul Karim Hashemi, as he addressed an event on International Labor Day in Kabul on Wednesday.
