Washington: A group of unelected, gun-wielding militants known as Taliban, and those who have passed Afghanistan and seeking to represent Kabul, deprived of half the population United Nations. Initial words from the global community: No. No time soon.
The humiliating bid by the Taliban for the UN seat of Kabul, which has banned militants in its leadership ranks, came after the group named its Doha-based spokesman, Suhail Shaheen, as Afghanistan’s new ambassador to the United Nations.
In a communication to the UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres On a letterhead to the “Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, Ministry of Foreign Affairs,” the new “foreign minister” Amir Khan Muttaki reportedly said that the currently recognized Afghan ambassador, Ghulam Isakzai, was no longer a representative.

No country in the world, including China and its client state Pakistan, both of which are current custodians of the Taliban, has so far recognized the sketchy administration in Kabul, whose representatives openly carry heavy automatic weapons into office. Indeed, but for flights to Doha for talks, banned Taliban leaders are not even allowed to fly commercially.
While the Credentials Committee is expected to meet next week to consider the matter, Germany was one of the first to give the Taliban any thumbs-up at the United Nations, its foreign minister said. haiko maso “Scheduling a show (by the Taliban) in the United Nations will do nothing,” he told reporters.

“What’s important are concrete actions, not just words, that include human rights and especially women’s rights and an inclusive government and distance from terrorist groups,” he said, adding that while communicating with the Taliban was important, the United Nations The General Assembly is “not a suitable place for that.”
The response on social media to the Taliban’s request was quick and bitter: if they want representation at the United Nations, they should try to send a woman.
