Sanctions Are in Nobody’s Interests; Resolve Challenges Through Dialogue, Says Haqqani
Sirajuddin Haqqani, the Taliban's interior minister, said that the banking and economic restrictions imposed against the Taliban increase the suffering of Afghans.
During a meeting with the Japanese ambassador in Kabul, Haqqani said that the sanctions are not in the interest of anyone in Afghanistan.
Haqqani emphasised that only through dialogue and mutual understanding, can they can solve the problems.
He described the position of the international community against this group as unfair and said that this policy "punishes" the common people in Afghanistan.
Haqqani urged the international community to change the trust deficit into dialogue and understanding.
However, the ambassador of Japan in Kabul asked the Taliban to allow Afghan girls to return to schools in the upcoming academic year.
While the Taliban suggests dialogue with the international community, the group has been accused of massive human rights violations across Afghanistan.
The Taliban has banned Afghan women from work, and education and removed them from social life.
