Afghanistan: Five Years of Taliban Rule | Interview with EU Special Envoy Gilles Bertrand

Описание: Five years after the Taliban returned to power, where is Afghanistan headed?

In this exclusive interview with Amu TV, European Union Special Envoy for Afghanistan Gilles Bertrand discusses women's rights, girls' education, deportations from Europe, tensions between Afghanistan and Pakistan, the Taliban's quest for international recognition, terrorism concerns, humanitarian aid, and the future of Afghanistan.

Bertrand explains why the European Union continues its policy of "principled engagement" with the Taliban while refusing to recognize their government. He says progress has been limited on key international demands, including respect for human rights and the formation of a more inclusive government.

The EU envoy also addresses:

• Possible talks with Taliban officials on Afghan returns from Europe
• The crackdown on women and protesters in Herat
• The future of girls' education in Afghanistan
• Taliban restrictions on women and their economic impact
• The threat posed by ISIS-K, TTP and other militant groups
• Rising tensions between Afghanistan and Pakistan
• The future of UNAMA and international engagement with Afghanistan
• Whether Afghanistan is becoming more stable or more isolated under Taliban rule

Bertrand says the international community has not forgotten Afghan women and girls and argues that Afghanistan's long-term stability depends on restoring their rights and participation in society.
