Putting Pressure on Group Not Productive, Says Taliban Spokesperson On EU Sanctions
Zabihullah Mujahid, the Taliban spokesperson, reacted to the latest European Union’s sanctions against members of the group and said that sanctions are not "not useful" for any party.
Mujahid added that the policy of imposing and exerting pressure against the Taliban will not be productive.
On Friday, Mujahid stressed that instead of “failed experiences” of pressure and sanctions, the EU should choose to “engage and dialogue” with the Taliban.
The European Union (EU) imposed sanctions on three Taliban officials for committing gender-based violence against Afghan women on Thursday.
The Union announced that the Taliban’s chief justice and ministers of justice and education have been sanctioned for their role in depriving Afghan girls and women of the right to education.
