Kabul, Jan 11 (IANS) The Taliban has announced that they will resume the hiring process of Afghan government employees, excluding female staffers, the media reported on Tuesday.
Addressing mediapersons here on Monday, officials of the Taliban's Administrative Reform Commission said that they will recruit civil servants through open competition, Khaama Press reported.
When asked about hiring female staffers, the officials said that a decision on the issue was yet to be taken and would take time.
The Commission's head Kiramatullah Akhundzada said that they will work towards "ensuring further facilities in government administration and work for further reforms in the administrations".
The internal documents also cite studies from Canada, Singapore and Scotland showing that the delta variant may pose a greater risk for hospitalization, intensive care treatment and death than the alpha variant, first detected in the United Kingdom.
The dead included a 82-year-old man in Akseki’s Kepezbeleni neighborhood, where some 80% of the houses were incinerated, the district’s governor, Volkan Hulur, told the the state-run Anadolu Agency.
The four were among those who endured the wrath of the crowd — supporters of Donald Trump aiming to prevent the certification of Joe Biden's election win.
With only about 57 per cent of eligible U.S. residents fully vaccinated, media reports say the Biden administration plans to keep its borders closed for now.
Cohen, a lawyer, lobbyist and fundraiser who currently serves as a senior adviser to the head of U.S. communications giant Comcast, had long been pegged as the likely nominee.
