Markus Potzel, the United Nations Deputy Special Representative in Afghanistan, said that a stable and peaceful Afghanistan requires inclusive political processes that respect the rights of all Afghan citizens, particularly women and minorities.

Potzel reiterated the demand for inclusive political processes during his meeting with the members of the Faryab civil society in Maimana city.

The Taliban has been accused of monopolising power and violating the rights of citizens particularly ethnic minorities.

The group has ignored international demands to form an inclusive political process in Afghanistan.
