Afghanistan Peace CampaignUN Secretary-General’s spokesperson, Stéphane Dujarric, emphasized that the UN’s position on the issue remains unchanged.
Stéphane Dujarric said: “The issue of recognition is a bilateral issue between those who recognize each other. For ourselves, our work in Afghanistan remains unchanged as mandated by the Security Council.”
Political analysts believe that if the caretaker government adheres to the legitimate demands of the international community, it could lead to its recognition even by European countries.
Sayed Ebadullah Sadiq, a political analyst, said: “The Islamic Emirate must understand what the international community expects from them and also pay attention to the rights of all Afghans, including both women and men.”
Another political analyst, Moeen Gul Samkani, said: “From a diplomatic perspective, it is the right path, but based on their intentions, it seems the West still does not want to take such action. The Islamic Emirate must do more to eventually engage in dialogue with countries that are unwilling or have taken opposing stances.”
This comes as Russia last week became the first country to officially recognize the Islamic Emirate.
