Afghans offer evening prayers at a park in Kabul, Afghanistan, 21 February 2024. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called for improved coordination to address the impasse in relations between the international community and the Taliban during a UN-led conference in Doha. Guterres proposed the creation of a UN envoy to work effectively with the de-facto authorities in Afghanistan, emphasizing the need for inclusivity, particularly for women and girls, and the fight against terrorism. Despite the Taliban's absence from the conference and their opposition to a special envoy, Guterres expressed hope for continued productive meetings to pave the way for the Taliban's participation in the future.
