The spokesman for the US State Department, Matthew Miller, said Washington would continue to call on the \u2018Taliban\u2019 to take steps to gain international legitimacy, TOLO News reported. He made the remarks at a press conference in Washington, DC. He said, \u201cWe continue to call on the Taliban to take steps to gain international legitimacy, to stop the crackdown on the legitimate expression by its people, and that\u2019s what we\u2019ve done and what we\u2019ll continue to do.\u201d<\/p>\n
He also responded to a question regarding the fate of Afghan allies who worked with the US but are still stranded in Afghanistan, saying: \u201cWe have been working very hard to accelerate those cases and work through the backlog, and we\u2019ll continue to do so.\u201d Taliban spokesperson Zabihullah Mujahid said they are committed to all pledges they made with the international community.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Islamic Emirate\u2026 is committed to the rights of the people and also international laws. It has fulfilled the promises for recognition of the country. Unfortunately, some countries are bringing up their political and personal wishes under various pretexts,\u201d he said, as reported by TOLO News.<\/p>\n
Weighing in on the matter, political analyst Saleem Paigeer said, \u201cThe Islamic Emirate\u2026 should take concrete steps so that the international community recognizes us. We should put aside our ego and act in a way to draw in the international community.\u201d The Taliban-appointed deputy prime minister for political affairs earlier said the Islamic Emirate will not compromise Islam or the rights of people for international recognition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
