Some issues should be separated from the issue of Taliban recognition

According to the regional office of Tasnim news agency, “Grim Smith, the senior analyst of the International Crisis Group, wrote in an article titled “Reviewing the Talks with the Taliban” that talks with the Taliban have not been able to make them more politically inclusive or fully respect women’s rights.

He continued: Therefore, the agenda of diplomatic efforts should be more focused and issues such as security cooperation and economic stability should be separated from the issue of international recognition of the Taliban.

This analyst of political issues said: The Taliban refuse to compromise on their policies in exchange for the promise of better relations with foreign governments and international institutions. This diplomatic deadlock can last for years. But its effect is on the people of Afghanistan. While this country is experiencing one of the worst economic and human crises in the world.

Smith continued: The time has come for foreign powers, especially in the West, about the rulings. Fundamentally rethink the way they interact with the Taliban. As the Secretary General of the United Nations said earlier this year, efforts should be continued to reintegrate Afghanistan into the global political and economic systems.

He pointed out two fundamental flaws in the current diplomatic efforts of the West: First, excessive ambition, so far It should be clear that the attempt to fundamentally change the nature of the Taliban and their government is an illusion. Second, it would be a mistake to make the resolution of many of the problems that need urgent attention and affect Afghans dependent on progress at the top level of negotiations, where progress is slow.

The senior analyst of the International Crisis Group continued: The diplomatic agenda should be more focused and issues such as security cooperation and economic stability should be separated from the issue of international recognition of the Taliban. The lives and livelihoods of millions of people in Afghanistan and the region should not be hostage to futile efforts in political talks with the Taliban for an indefinite period of time. =”clearfix” class=”clearfix”/>
