Taliban leader Akhundzada warns Afghans amid crises, ahead of UN-hosted talks in Doha.

Taliban leader Hibatullah Akhundzada has warned Afghans against earning money or gaining "worldly honor" as the country faces humanitarian crises and global isolation. Akhundzada's warning came during a sermon in Kandahar province, weeks before a Taliban delegation will attend UN-hosted talks in Doha, Qatar. This marks the first official diplomatic engagement for the Taliban since they seized power in August 2021.
