(ANSA) - ROME, AUG 17 - Premier Mario Draghi on Tuesday
conferred by phone with German Chancellor Angela Merkel on
humanitarian protection for Afghans who worked with Italian and
German institutions and the most vulnerable categories, starting
with women, sources said. The conversation also touched on
possible initiatives to be taken in the EU, G7 and G20 ambits in
favour of stability and safeguarding human rights and
fundamental freedoms established over the course of the US-led
mission of the last 20 years. The conversation took place amid
the worsening of the situation in Afghanistan and in the
framework of international contacts on the crisis, which has
seen the Taliban sweep back into power at an unexpectedly fast
pace after the withdrawal of western forces. (ANSA).
