Taliban recognition not to be discussed

KABUL (Khaama Press): Naseer Ahamd Faiq, the Chargé d’Affaires of Afghanistan Permanent Mission to the United Nations, said that the recognition of Afghanistan’s de facto regime is not on the agenda of the UN meeting on Afghanistan.
The meeting will cover a unified framework of the international community about political, economic, and social challenges in Afghanistan, said Naseer Ahmad Faiq in an interview with BBC.
“In this meeting, we will discuss a solution for Afghanistan’s political, economic and social issues; the recognition of the current regime will not be an issue of the meeting,” he said.
The remarks by Faiq came after the confusion raised by UN Deputy Chief Amina Mohammad, who proposed a conference to discuss the recognition of the Taliban.
Mohammad’s remarks were confronted with massive criticism both at the national and international levels.
Since the Taliban retook control of the country, they have issued several decrees restricting women from the public arena, including education and work.
The UN will host the international conference on Afghanistan in Doha on May first week.
