A group of Afghan diplomats from the government who were overthrown in Kabul had issued his first joint statement called for world leaders to deny the formal recognition of the Taliban.
The statement was signed by two dozen officials operating in a kind of diplomatic dusk, without the government to represent but still worked from missions in the US, England, France, Turkey and elsewhere.
The diplomats signed the letter all under the rank of the ambassador.
“We feel sad that after twenty years of involvement, our allies left Afghanistan and left our people at the mercy of terrorist groups,” wrote the diplomats.
The letter also asked world leaders to stop the taliban violence against women, activists and journalists.
“The success of the Taliban in capturing power through illegal and violence means …
venturing terrorist extremist groups and violence throughout the world,” they wrote.
Jawad Raha, the first secretary at the Embassy in Washington, said his post was still operating, with diplomats there focused on providing services for Afghanistan who lived in the US and attracted attention to the situation in Afghanistan.
He said the embassy had dropped Ashraf Ghani’s photo.
“We all upset (above) the way he left the country,” said Raha.
