The Taliban terrorist movement that seized power in Afghanistan (banned in Russia) opposed the decision of the United Nations (UN) to retain the Afghan representative's place in the organization behind the ambassador appointed by the former government of the republic. This was announced on Tuesday by the deputy press secretary of the movement Inamulla Samangani, reports TASS.
“It is unfair to transfer a UN seat to someone who does not represent the Afghan government and the people of Afghanistan. This seat should be given to the country's legal representatives, ”the Taliban spokesman said. He noted that the UN should rationally reconsider its verdict.
According to TASS, on December 6, at a meeting of the UN General Assembly, the recommendations of the accreditation committee were taken into account, which advised to postpone the decision of the question of representatives of Afghanistan and Myanmar. This means that diplomat Ghulam Iskhakzai, appointed by former President Ashraf Ghani, will remain Afghanistan's representative.
Earlier, the leader of the radical movement Haybatullah Akhundzada ordered to take measures to ensure the rights of women in Afghanistan. He called a woman a noble and free person and stressed that she is not a property. Akhundzada banned the forced marriage of Afghan women and secured them the right to determine their future.
