Sources confirmed to Afghanistan International that the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is in the process of deporting four Afghan nationals from the country. These people had carried the Taliban flag to the venue where Afghanistan's cricket match with Pakistan had been held in UAE.
Sources said that these people have contacted the Taliban consulate in Dubai and asked for support to prevent their deportation to Afghanistan. The Taliban officials in Dubai have contacted the UAE authorities and asked them not to deport these four people, but the UAE government has rejected the Taliban’s request.
Nearly 20 months have passed since the Taliban has taken over Afghanistan. However, no country has recognised the Taliban as the legitimate government of Afghanistan.
The Taliban’s severe restrictions on women and girls in Afghanistan have pushed many countries to distance themselves from the Taliban.
