KABUL (Reuters) – The Taliban on Saturday called on the United States and other countries to recognize their rule in Afghanistan, saying that if they don’t and continue to freeze Afghan funds abroad, there could be problems not just at home, but abroad. world.
No country has formally recognized the Taliban government since the rebels took power in August. Billions of dollars of Afghan assets and funds abroad have been frozen, despite the country undergoing serious economic and humanitarian crises.
“Our message to the US is, if they continue not to recognize us, the Afghan problems will continue, it’s a problem for the region and it could become a problem for the world,” Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid told reporters , at a press conference this Saturday.
He said the reason the Taliban and the United States waged a war was also because they both lacked formal diplomatic ties.
The United States invaded Afghanistan in 2001, after the September 11 attack and the then Taliban-led government refused to hand over Osama bin Laden, the head of al Qaeda.
“These issues that caused the war could have been resolved by negotiations, they could have been resolved by political concessions as well,” said Mujahid.
