The Taliban government's morality ministry said it would not cooperate with the United Nations mission in Afghanistan, calling it "an opposing side".

The announcement comes after the UN mission (UNAMA) warned that a new morality law -- requiring women to cover up completely and not raise their voices -- would damage prospects for engagement with the international community.
