Media: Taliban back out of peace talks until NATO pullout from Afghanistan
US President Joe Biden announced the deadline for the NATO troop pullout from Afghanistan - September 11, 2021 - the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks in the US, which were the reason for Washington’s invasion of the country. The US president’s decision threatens to disrupt another important initiative from Washington-the Istanbul conference - which is set to breathe new life into the Afghan peace process, Kommersant writes. After hearing the news on postponing the date of the troop withdrawal from May 1 to September 11, the Taliban announced that they refused to take part in any international events until the US fulfilled the agreements.

While Government struggles to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic it still has a responsibility to ensure that other matters of national importance are also addressed.
So says Senator Lisa Cummins who acknowledged that while controlling the spread of COVID-19 was first and foremost on Government’s agenda, it could not be the only goal.
Speaking during debate on the
National Payment Bill, 2020, in the Upper Chamber today, Cummins said there were other sectors that needed urgent attention.
“We are in a space where the Prime Minister describes it well; we have to learn to walk and chew gum confidently. There are many people who would say, ‘Oh wha dem in dey dealing wid dem tings now, people out pun the road and people suffering and people need this and people need that’.
Opposition slams ‘important’ but ‘rushed’ digital payments bill
Article by February 24, 2021
Government has been accused by the lone voice of opposition in Parliament of rushing the bill to create a digital payment system
While acknowledging that the
National Payment Bill was important, Bishop Joseph Atherley charged that it had not been properly scrutinized.
He told the House of Assembly: “My view is that notwithstanding what measure of time the Cabinet was afforded to scrutinize it, it seems to me a little bit rushed to the Parliament and through the Parliament of Barbados. It is an important piece of legislation which will impact upon the economic culture in Barbados, which will also impact not only economic but social life in Barbados,” Atherley said during debate on the Bill in Parliament today.
