The Taliban’s August 15 seizure of power in Kabul has created a new political order in Afghanistan. The Taliban has reconstructed the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, while pledging to respect human rights and rescind its links to transnational terrorist groups.
Earlier this week, I interviewed Omar Zakhilwal, Afghanistan’s Finance Minister from 2009-2015 and ambassador to Pakistan from 2016-2018. Since 2019, Zakhilwal has been an active player at the highest levels of intra-Afghan diplomacy. Our interview addressed how the Taliban might govern Afghanistan and what its foreign policy might look like.
Former Deputy Prime Minister Hassan Akhund’s appointment as Acting Prime Minister alongside other old guard figures has raised concerns that the Taliban’s rule will be characterised by a throwback to the extremism of the past. Thein the Taliban’s coalition, which is all-male and drawn mostly from the Pashtun ethnic group, has augmented these fears.
“There are incidents of ill-treatment here and there but those are more the exception than the norm at least for now.”
It was the other guy whose daughter wasn't 'safe' in Pakistan so he fled to Afghanistan and then when Kabul wasn't safe for his daughter he fled to Germany I heard. Afghanistan is a huge lesson to the world what lack of nationalism and corruption could do.
Now the game is totally different. Regional players like China and Russia were waiting when will NATO withdraw. They are becoming game changer in the region by kicking US and India out.
Soon they will beg Taliban to recognise them ,what goes around comes around!
