Thomas Niklasson, the European Union’s special representative for Afghanistan, at the end of his five-day trip to Afghanistan said that due to the restrictions on women, the humanitarian situation in this country is dark.
He also emphasized that there is no possibility of recognizing the current government of Afghanistan as a legitimate government.
Nicholson, who also participated in the Qatar meeting, noted that in these talks, there was a consistent view that the conditions are not ready for the international community to recognize the current Afghan authorities as a legitimate government. However, he emphasized that interaction with Taliban officials and other Afghans should continue.
Security and the fight against terrorism, the need for inclusive governance, protection of human rights, preventing illegal immigration and human trafficking, countering drug production and trafficking, and the stability of Afghanistan’s economy were also discussed at the Doha meeting, according to Nicholson.
According to a statement by the European Union, the ban on women working with UN offices violates several articles of the charter of the organization, in which the Afghan government wants to obtain a permanent seat.
