Description
The former Serena hotel in Kabul, which the Taliban government announced last week it had taken control of, has been renamed the "Kabul Grand Hotel" and will be managed by Germany's Cinderella International Group.
"We are not a political organisation. We are private sector... the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan helped and is helping us for further investment and support," says the company's CEO Aaron Azim.
A famous spot in the Afghan capital, the Serena was run for nearly 20 years by the Aga Khan Fund for Economic Development and was popular with business travellers and foreign guests. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
