The UN Security Council has lifted travel restrictions on four Taliban leaders, who are serving the interim administration in Afghanistan.
\nAccording to a brief notification by the Security Council, the lifting of travel restrictions was approved in the case of Abdul Kabir Mohammad Jan, Abdul-Haq Wassiq, Noor Mohammad Saqib, and Sirajuddin Jallaloudine Haqqani.
\nSince their return to power in August 2021, Abdul Kabir was appointed as deputy prime minister for political affairs, while Haqqani is the interior minister in the interim administration.
\nWasiq is Afghanistan\u2019s intelligence chief, while Saqib is minister of Hajj and religious affairs.
\nThe restrictions were removed for their visit to Mecca, Saudi Arabia where they will perform the annual Muslim pilgrimage of Hajj, the notification added.
\nIt said the decision was taken on Wednesday pursuant to Resolution 1988 (2011).
\nThe notification lifting travel restrictions came to the fore as Haqqani and Wasiq travelled to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) where they met the Gulf nation\u2019s leadership.
\nHaqqani and his delegation met UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan in Abu Dhabi where they discussed the release of Afghan prisoners in the UAE and sought the facilitation of visas for Afghans to the UAE.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
