Taliban office row stalls Afghanistan peace talks
A row over the status of the Taliban's newly-opened office in Doha, Qatar, continues to frustrate efforts to start Afghan peace talks there.
After a rebuke from the Qataris, the Taliban removed a nameplate and a flag, only to hoist the white-and-black banner again on a shorter flagpole.
Kabul expressed "serious displeasure" at the handling of the peace talks.
