Taliban regime in Afghanistan seeks international recognition while continuing to belie all expectations of moderation in power

Read Time:2 Minute, 11 Second

The first public appearance by Haabatullah Akhundzada, the highest leader of the Afghan Taliban regime, did not provide space for the hope that those who had been responsible for the country were declared to be better.

Akhundzada, who at one time was even rumored to be dead, made his first trip outside Kandahar for the meeting of the two days of the Taliban Ulama in Kabul last week. In recent weeks, the Taliban, faced with factionalism and internal division, has responded by entering the default mode, and women have become the first target.

New restrictions on their movements have been applied, and there is no light at the end of the tunnel for girls who want to go to school. Every hope that this conference might appear in the future. A resolution that was adopted at the end of the conference two days two days only had an unclear reference to “respect the rights of women” and about the need for “religious and modern education”.

The meeting was closed to the media, but Akhundzada’s speech was broadcast publicly. A hardline in the Taliban system, he did not concession to the demands of both Afghanistan and the international community that the regime must include a minority and, more urgent, allowing girls to go to school.

The rules by the Taliban are not normal arrangements. The armed group, whose figures included several terrorists were appointed, took power by force, and determined to force their extremist views on the people in the country. Canceling moderate progress in education and gender rights made over the past two decades is one thing.

This does not show signs of accommodation of the non-Sunni non-Sunni minority community in Afghanistan. And that has given every sign related to large transnational terror groups, Al Qaeda, and cross-border terror groups,

Lashkar-e-toiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed. However, the regime in Kabul wants international recognition as a legitimate government of Afghanistan and wants world assistance to overcome its difficulties, including a devastating earthquake that causes large scale destruction. Akhundzada and the Taliban must realize that the same as the world that rushed to help with the help of humanity for this natural disaster, it could barely stand up and witnessed the Taliban -made disaster.

It is good that India, who reopening his embassy in Kabul with a small security team and other officials at the end of June, made a strong tone for the rights of Afghan women at the Geneva Conference even when he asked for attention to Delhi’s delivery of aid material on two special aircraft for People who survived the earthquake.
