RASC News Agency: The seventy-ninth session of the United Nations General Assembly is set to take place in New York City in just a few days; however, the Taliban have not been invited to participate. Reports indicate that key topics at this assembly will include the Ukraine war, the Gaza conflict, and the crisis in Afghanistan. Representatives from over 190 countries and international organizations will attend the UN General Assembly. However, the Taliban’s government in Afghanistan remains excluded due to its lack of international recognition, despite extensive efforts to secure an invitation.
Meanwhile, some Taliban officials have criticized their exclusion from the UN meeting, describing it as “an injustice against the people of Afghanistan.” Conversely, many Afghanistani citizens have welcomed the Taliban’s absence, as they do not consider the group to be their legitimate representatives. Several Afghanistani human rights activists have interpreted the Taliban’s exclusion as a recognition of the Afghanistani populace. They argue that, despite the Taliban’s attempts to gain an invitation, their absence is a positive development, ensuring that the group is not recognized as the representatives of the Afghanistani people.
Recently, Suhail Shaheen, head of the Taliban’s political office in Qatar, stated in media interviews, “This is a significant injustice and must not continue.” However, his comments received little attention. The situation in Afghanistan will also be a topic of discussion at this assembly, with representatives striving to find viable solutions for the country. Since the Taliban’s takeover, Afghanistan has become a haven for terrorists, hosting various extremist groups, including Al-Qaeda, ISIS, and TTP.
