As long as the international community continues to "fail to recognize" the legitimacy of their government in Afghanistan, issues related to "human rights, starting with those of women" will not be addressed. This is the stance taken by the Taliban in the guise of "blackmail" and arriving from Kabul where the inaugural ceremony, postponed several times, is being prepared for the interim executive.
"As long as we are not recognized" and foreign countries "continue to criticize us on human rights, we will consider it a one-sided approach. It would be appropriate for them to treat us responsibly and recognize our current government as an administration," the mullahs revive. "Only then will they be able to officially share their concerns with us and we will address them," Zabihullah Mujahid, spokesman for the self-proclaimed Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan and Deputy Minister of Information and Culture of the government of self-styled Koranic students, told Tolo News.
Also yesterday, the head of the EU delegation in Afghanistan, Ambassador Andreas Von Brandt, said he was very concerned about women's rights on the occasion of the reopening of schools and the resumption of lessons but only for male students and teachers.
