While the foreign ministers of the Group of Seven are expected to meet today, Thursday, to discuss the Afghan file, which witnessed dramatic changes at the weekend, with the Taliban taking control of the capital, Kabul, Paris set 5 conditions for international recognition of the Afghan movement. French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian announced that the Taliban movement, which took control of Afghanistan, must abide by five preconditions in order for its regime to be recognized by the international community, stressing that the movement’s moderate statements are worthless if they are not accompanied by what they actually said.
He said in an interview with the French news network BFMTV on Wednesday evening, “I know that (the Taliban) are making efforts to try to obtain international recognition, but it is not enough to issue statements here and there regarding Respect for women’s rights, what is required is to watch actions.”
Women’s Rights and a Transitional Government
He also added, “If the new generation of Taliban wants international recognition, they must First, to allow the exit of Afghans who want to leave this country because they are afraid, and then they must prevent their country from becoming a haven for terrorism, provided that they prove that In a very concrete way.”
The French minister went on to enumerate the conditions by saying that the Taliban must also “allow humanitarian aid to reach Afghan territory, and they must also respect rights, especially the rights of women.” They state it, but they must do it.”
The fifth and final condition, according to Laudrian, is “that they form a transitional government.”
Taliban Afghanistan
In addition, he explained, “These are the conditions for obtaining international recognition, and then we will see, but at the moment, they must take these measures, as they have not been achieved so far.”
He also warned the Taliban not to meet these demands, stressing that if they were not implemented, the movement would be “shunned by society,” as he put it.
It is noteworthy that since Last Sunday, thousands of Afghans, especially women and activists, were in a state of anxiety and panic because of the movement’s abusive history since the 1990s.
