🔶 Taliban’s fifth anniversary; increased internal restrictions, less global isolation

Today, Saturday, August 15 (24 Mordad), marking the fifth anniversary of the fall of Kabul and the Taliban’s renewed return to power, only Russia has officially recognized this group’s extremist Islamist government in Afghanistan.

However, many countries, including Germany and other European Union countries, maintain working relations with the Taliban. Zabihullah Mujahid, the Taliban spokesman, says: “We want to establish relations with all countries.”
