Whatever is the proper attire for an Islamo-tyrant these days?

At least it wasn't white after Labor Day
Haqqani was dressed in traditional Pashtun attire, with a turban on his head and brown sandals over dark blue socks.
Guess if the Saudis can wear bedsheets...
Shoigu arrived at the meeting wearing a classic suit and black shoes.

During the negotiations, Shoigu informed the Afghan side that the Russian government is in the final stages of removing the Taliban from the list of banned organizations.

For his part, Haqqani assessed the visit of the Russian delegation to Afghanistan as a positive and significant gesture. He expressed hope that the visit would further strengthen bilateral relations in various areas.

As reported by the Regnum news agency, during his trip to Afghanistan, Shoigu stated that Moscow is ready to intensify cooperation with Kabul across the entire spectrum of areas. Russian investors and state enterprises are interested in developing cooperation in the mining industry, transport and agriculture.

On November 26, Russian presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov said that lifting the Taliban's terrorist status would help develop contacts with the Afghan leadership. He recalled that the Taliban are the force holding power in the republic.

A bill has been submitted to the State Duma to remove the Taliban's terrorist status

A bill has been submitted to the State Duma that would allow the Taliban movement (the organization is under UN sanctions for terrorist activity) to be excluded from the Russian list of terrorist organizations. The document was posted in the database of the legislative support system on November 25.

According to the text of the bill, it will be possible to temporarily lift the ban on the activities of an organization recognized as terrorist in the Russian Federation if there is factual information that it has ceased to promote, justify, or support terrorism or commit crimes.

The ban on activities will be lifted by a court decision. The Prosecutor General of Russia or his deputy will be able to file a corresponding application. It is separately emphasized that the status of a banned organization can be returned if it resumes terrorist activities.

As reported by the Regnum news agency, on November 25, during a visit to Afghanistan, Secretary of the Russian Security Council Sergei Shoigu indicated Russia's readiness to exclude the Taliban from the "black list" of terrorists. He also announced the country's intention to intensify bilateral cooperation with Afghanistan to strengthen political and economic ties in the near future.

On October 4, member of the board of the Russian Foreign Ministry and former Russian ambassador to Afghanistan Zamir Kabulov stated that the decision to exclude the Taliban movement from the list of terrorist organizations was made at the highest level, but legal procedures must be followed.

On May 27, the Russian Foreign Ministry and the Ministry of Justice reported to the country's president, Vladimir Putin, that the Taliban movement could be excluded from the list of terrorist organizations.
