New Delhi: Nearly four months after the Taliban took over, Farid MamundzayIndia’s ambassador to the war-torn country from the previous regime, has expressed apprehension that his return Taliban expressed the clear possibility that Afghanistan will once again become a “coalition of global terrorist organizations”.
Mamundze said reports indicate that Pakistan-based terrorist organizations have become involved in aiding the takeover of the Taliban. With the Taliban in power, he expressed fears that Pakistan may now use the Afghan camps to train various terrorist organizations that it controls to increase infiltration along the Indian border with Kashmir.
The ambassador was speaking at the two-day international conference ‘Radicalisation: Threats to the’ architecture of global sustainabilityorganized by council for strategic affairs, Indian Institute of Management (Rohtak) in the national capital. He urged that the international community should pressure the Taliban’s interim government to openly stop human rights violations and improve the status of women. India has not had any formal relationship with the new Taliban interim government so far.
Mamundje also said that the positive role that India has played in the reconstruction of Afghanistan in the last two decades should be made a part of the ‘troika’ constituted on issues related to Afghanistan and also suggested that India should be part of the deliberations. Should be. Any international body set up to deal with the issue of the Afghanistan crisis. India’s presence in United Nations Security Council Afghanistan will also benefit as a non-permanent member.
On the rise of radicalism for the second time under the Taliban, the ambassador said, “It not only holds bad promises for the ordinary Afghan people, but also threatens regional and international security.”
“The current Taliban regime would lead the world to believe that the perception of the group has changed and it has become more liberal than the Taliban regime of the 1990s. However, there have recently been independent human rights reports indicating that the Taliban have Have committed atrocities in the areas,” he said.
He further said that the fall of Kabul in August has inspired many extremists across the Muslim world, who could pose a threat to regional and global security. “The economic and socio-political situation in Afghanistan is also getting worse day by day, making such radicalization more likely to affect the entire region,” he added,
Mamundze reminded that the previous Taliban regime harbored al-Qaeda which planned and executed various terrorist attacks from Afghan soil, including the 9/11 attacks. “With the withdrawal of American and allied forces and the resurgence of the Taliban, Afghanistan may well become prime real estate for terrorist groups willing to pay for a training ground in a failed state in the absence of an accountable government.” said the ambassador.
The Taliban have pledged to prevent the use of Afghan soil as a launchpad by international terrorist organizations. The rhetoric, which I expect, is not only aimed at gaining international legitimacy and recognition from the major powers, but they are meant to be,” he added.
Going forward, Mamundze said that to prevent radicalization, Afghanistan needs an inclusive government with fair representation of all groups to avoid polarization. He emphasized the need for a “legal governance structure based on modernity, equality and good governance”. He also demanded that the Taliban regime recognize extremist groups as a threat to the stability of the Afghan state and draw up a long-term plan.
