Taliban in Talks With Western Officials

Members of the Taliban are meeting with western officials in Norway for the first time in Europe since the group took control of Afghanistan.

On Sunday, members of the Taliban met with human rights activists but the details of those discussions have not been revealed.

A number of protests have taken place in Europe with critics claiming the Taliban should not be rewarded with the meetings.

Monday is said to be the most significant day of talks with Taliban members meeting western officials.

Afghanistan has seen unemployment and food prices soar, whilst the value of its currency is plummeting and banks have set limits on cash withdrawals.
