Jurist Afghanistan dispatches: ‘the Taliban are begging the US for recognition’

[Dadparvar]

JURIST EXCLUSIVE – Law students and lawyers in Afghanistan are filing reports with JURIST on the situation there after the Taliban takeover. Here, a Staff Correspondent for JURIST in Kabul offers observations on what appears so far to be international non-recognition of the Taliban government. For privacy and security reasons we are withholding his name and institutional affiliation. The text has been only lightly edited to respect the author’s voice.

The Taliban’s spokesperson has said to a local media here in Afghanistan that unrecognition of the Taliban can lead to further problems to Afghanistan as well as the world. So far, some countries such as Pakistan, Iran, China, and Russia have been engaged to talk about the recognition of the Taliban and they somehow conveyed the Taliban’s message to the world.
Zabiullah Mujahed, the Taliban spokesperson, has said that the war between the Taliban and the US was because they had no diplomatic relations with the US. This looks to me as if the Taliban are begging the US for recognition and they are sometimes represented by other countries in this debate.

So far, the Taliban have agreed with many countries that Afghanistan will not become a shelter for terrorist groups and Afghanistan’s soil will not be used against any other country. This was issue is included in Doha Agreement of February 2020 with the US and recently debated in regional meetings on Afghanistan. But the Taliban will have a difficult time complying with this commitment because other terrorist groups such as ISIS-K, Al-Qaeda, and others are in Afghanistan at the moment.

The above message from the Taliban also means that in case they are not recognized, the world should not expect the them to take any responsibility of any threats to other countries especially if the threats are coming from Afghanistan.
