Taliban vow to take a more moderate stance at first Kabul press conference | DW News

At the militant group's first press conference since seizing control of Afghanistan, Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said the insurgents will not seek revenge and that "everyone is forgiven." "We don't want any internal or external enemies," the spokesman told reporters in Kabul. The spokesman also asserted that women's rights will be honored. He said women would be allowed to work and study and "will be very active in society but within the framework of Islam."

A German evacuation plane with "more than 120 people" on board left Kabul airport on Tuesday. Germany's Foreign Minister Heiko Maas (SPD) said on Twitter that "Germans, Afghans and members of other nations" had been "airlifted" to safety. The process will continue as long as "the security situation allows," he added. Later on Tuesday, Maas said humanitarian aid to Afghanistan had been frozen.
