UNSG urges Taliban to include all ethnic groups in the government and urges social media users to preserve freedom of the press

The United Nations Secretary General urged Afghanistan’s Taliban rulers to include all ethnic groups in the government, restore girls’ rights to education at all levels and women’s rights to work, and to stop all terrorist activity on its territory.

Guterres also had some advice for the managers of all social media platforms including Twitter, saying: “You have a responsibility to preserve freedom of the press and at the same time ensure that hate speech and extremist views, including of neo-Nazis and white supremacists, don’t find their way onto your platforms.”
