UN Afghanistan envoy warns of Taliban offensive

NEW YORK: Taliban insurgents have seized over 50 of 370 districts in Afghanistan since May, the UN special envoy said on Tuesday, warning that raised conflict posed a danger of insecurity to several different nations.
Deborah Lyons informed that the UN Security Council the statement earlier this season that foreign troops could draw delivered a”seismic tremor” via Afghanistan.
“Those areas which were accepted encircle provincial capitals, implying that the Taliban are positioning themselves to attempt to accept such capitals once overseas forces are totally pulled,” Lyons explained.
After 20 decades, the USA has begun to draw its remaining 2,500 troops in Afghanistan and plans to be totally from the nation from 11 September.
Approximately 7,000 non-US employees from largely NATO states – together with Australia, New Zealand and Georgia – will also be likely to depart from that date.
“All of the significant tendencies – politics, safety, the peace process, the market, the humanitarian crisis, not to mention Covid- all these trends are stagnate,” Lyons told the 15-member Security Council.
“The potential slide toward dire situations is incontrovertible.” US-backed Afghan forces toppled the radical Islamist Taliban from power in late 2001 for refusing to hand over al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden following the September 11, 2001, attacks on the USA.
US President Joe Biden will fit in the White House together with Afghan President Ashraf Ghani and also the chairman of Afghanistan’s High Council for National Reconciliation, Abdullah Abdullah, on Friday amid the explosion in combating.
Women’s Rights’Not Negotiable’US Ambassador to the United Nations,” Linda Thomas-Greenfield, stated that the decision to withdraw US troops wasn’t taken lightly.
“We can use our complete diplomatic, economic and help toolkit to encourage the calm, secure long run the Afghan people desire and deserve and will continue to encourage the Afghan National Defence and Security Forces in procuring their nation,” she informed the Security Council.
Talks in Qatar involving the Taliban and Afghan government agents within a political settlement have postponed.
Lyons urged the Security Council, together with assistance from regional nations, to push back the parties to the bargaining table.
Afghan Foreign Minister Mohammad Haneef Atmar stated Ghani had suggested”in good faith” a peace plan for a ceasefire, energy sharing and premature elections.
“For nearly 10 months now we’ve had no significant involvement from the Taliban for acute peace discussion and no answer to our proposed peace program and completely no counter tops,” he informed the UNSecurity Council.
Prior to being ousted in 2001, the Taliban enforced a harsh version of Islamic principle that comprised barring girls from people from working in their houses and forbidding them from being in public without a male relative.
“Maintaining the rights of girls remains an overriding concern and should not be utilised as a bargaining chip in the negotiating table,” Lyons explained.
“Men’s rights aren’t negotiable.
Women’s rights aren’t negotiable.
Human rights aren’t negotiable.”
