Qatar’s foreign minister has sent a stark warning about the consequences the world could face if nations don’t engage with the Taliban

The foreign minister of Qatar has warned that isolating the Taliban militant group could lead to further instability in the region of Afghanistan.

The minister sent the warning, urging nations to engage with the movement to address security and socioeconomic concerns in Afghanistan.

“If we are starting to put conditions and stopping this engagement, we are going to leave a vacuum, and the question is, who is going to fill this vacuum?,”

Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani said in Doha on Tuesday,

The US-allied Gulf Arab state has emerged as a key part to the Taliban, having hosted the group’s political office since 2013.

No country has recognised the Taliban militant group as the ‘new government of Afghanistan’ after their capture of Kabul on August 15.

Many Western states have urged the group to form an inclusive government and to respect human rights – including the rights of women.

The Qatari foreign minister also warned the Taliban against any rise of “terrorism” after the US withdrawal and called for an inclusive government

“It is our role to always urge them (the Taliban) to have an expanded government that includes all parties and not to exclude any party” the foreign minister said.

Taliban members celebrated with gunfire in the many hours after the last US forces departed Kabul.

Preliminary Air India crash report to focus on fuel switches after deadly June incident; 241 fatalities reported.

In Short:
A report on the June Air India jetliner crash, which killed 241 on board and 29 on the ground, is imminent, focusing on fuel control switches and multiple contributing factors. The investigation is led by India’s authority, facing scrutiny over information access, while the government plans to enhance civil aviation safety and improve Air India’s reputation.

A preliminary report on the Air India jetliner crash in June is expected soon. The crash resulted in 241 deaths out of the 242 on board, in addition to at least 29 fatalities on the ground.

Investigators are focusing on the plane’s fuel control switches following an analysis of flight data recorders. The Boeing 787 Dreamliner lost altitude shortly after take-off from Ahmedabad, India. Family members continue to mourn victims, highlighting the tragedy’s impact.

Investigations have found no immediate concerns regarding mechanical failure, and airlines have not been advised to change 787 operations. The focus on fuel switches relates to their role in engine power.

Specific actions

However, details about specific actions being investigated remain unclear.

Experts indicate fuel switches cannot be moved accidently, and any shutdown would instantly affect engine power. Reports suggest that multiple factors likely contributed to the crash. The Indian investigation authority, under international rules, leads the probe but has faced scrutiny over information accessibility, taking weeks to retrieve flight data.

The Indian government has only held one press conference regarding the incident. Recently, U.N.’s International Civil Aviation Organization was granted observer status in the investigation. The event poses challenges for the Tata Group in revamping Air India’s reputation.
