Oct 10, 2021: The Taliban have warned against “destabilizing” the government during their first face-to-face talks since the US withdrawal.
As mourners in northern Afghanistan bury their dead in a mosque attack that killed 62 people, a Taliban delegation told US officials in Doha that weakening their government could create problems for the people.
A bomb blast in Kunduz on Friday injured several worshipers, claimed by ISIS – which appears to be trying to shake Afghanistan further after the Taliban took over.
After talks in Qatar, Afghanistan’s foreign minister Amir Khan Muttaqi said, “We clearly told them that trying to destabilise the government in Afghanistan is good for no one, Good relations with Afghanistan are good for everyone. Nothing should be done to weaken the existing government in Afghanistan which can lead to problems for the people.”
The Taliban are seeking international recognition, as well as assistance to avoid a humanitarian disaster and ease Afghanistan’s economic crisis.
Efforts to consolidate the Taliban’s power have been undermined by a series of deadly ISIS attacks. In Kunduz, the Taliban’s security chief accused the mosque attackers of trying to sow discord among the sects.
