A repeat offender. Welcome. Its good to have you with us. Talks between the United States and the taliban over a possible feasted in afghanistan ended last week in doha. It was the 7th round of talks between the 2 sides u. S. Special representatives. Called them the most productive session to date but what they mean for womens rights in the country remains unclear in fact just days after those talks a Radio Station in the Central Province of cousin e had to shut down after receiving threats from the taliban which object to 2 women working there the incident highlights the daily struggles afghan women face as they seek to make their place in a primarily Patriarchal Society but one woman politician in the north of the country is reading of redefining gender roles.

Lets just remind you that there was 2300000 People Living in the gaza strip. That is 41. 00 chrome. It says by 12 chrome. It says wide.
