Antonio Guterres, United Nations (UN) Secretary-General said on May 2 that it is not the right time for him to directly engage with the Taliban (Afghan rulers), reports Al Jazeera. Speaking during the last day of an international conference on Afghanistan organised by the UN in Doha (Qatar), in which representatives of some 20 countries participated, he said, "The meeting was about developing a common international approach, not about recognition of the de facto Taliban authorities. Let me be crystal clear: we will never be silent in the face of unprecedented systemic attacks on women’s and girls’ rights. We’ll always speak out when millions of women and girls are being silenced and erased from sight."

Antonio Guterres, United Nations (UN) Secretary-General said on May 2 that the United Nations will stay in Afghanistan to deliver life-saving aid to millions of desperate Afghans despite the Taliban’s restrictions on female employees, and the limited funding the organization is faced with, reports The Khaama Press News Agency. He further said, “To achieve our objectives, we cannot disengage with the Taliban regime, and it is difficult to overestimate the gravity of the situation in the country.” He noted that 97 per cent of the population lives in poverty and that donor funding is drying up, which will further complicate the living conditions of ordinary people. Currently, a large majority of the Afghan population relies on humanitarian aid to survive.

On May 2, Afghanistan Journalists Center (AFJC) reported on the deteriorating situation of media in Afghanistan – adding violence cases against journalists have increased by 64 percent in the past year, reports The Khaama Press News Agency. The report says that the findings of AFJC indicate that over the past 12 months (May 2022- May 2023), at least 213 incidents of violence, threats, and detention of journalists have been recorded in the country. The violent incidents include one death, 21 injuries, six physical harassments, 115 threats, arrest of 70 journalists, out of which at least two reporters (Murtaza Behbudi and Khairullah Parhar) are still in Taliban custody. The centre has also stated that the media situation in Afghanistan under the Taliban regime has had a negative process – adding after the overthrow of the previous government in August 2021, roughly half of 600 media outlets have ceased operation due to economic problems and restrictions imposed by the ruling regime.
