In response, the spokesman for the authorities established in August 2021 by the Taliban in Afghanistan, Zabihulá Muyahid, stressed that “if it helps peace and stability in Afghanistan, there is no problem.” “If they try to resort to military action and opposition, the Afghan people will not allow it,” he warned.


Muyahid, who is also Deputy Minister of Culture and Information, has stated that “the doors for talks are already open.” “We have no problem with any Afghans. We welcome anyone to come back,” he said.

“They will have protection. They will be respected. Their health will be safe,” Mujahid stressed.

International criticism of the Taliban has been mounting since its seizure of power in August 2021 after then-Afghan President Ashraf Ghani fled. The insurgents have imposed a series of restrictions on the population, especially women and girls.

The Taliban have installed a government marked by the lack of women and representatives of other political groups. Despite this, the deputy prime minister of Afghanistan, Abdulsalam Hanafi, stressed in October that this Executive “is inclusive” and added that the fundamentalist group has tried to incorporate all ethnic groups and social sectors into the new authorities.
