UN denies recognition of Taliban government following multinational meeting
Fox News
A U.N.-led, Afghanistan-focused meeting with the Taliban does not translate to recognition of the group's claim to the government in Kabul, an official said Monday.
The Taliban were not invited to the first meeting, and U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres said they set unacceptable conditions for attending the second one, in February, including demands that Afghan civil society members be excluded from the talks and that the Taliban be treated as the country’s legitimate rulers.
Ahead of Doha, representatives of Afghan women were excluded from attending, paving the way for the Taliban to send their envoys — though the organizers insisted that demands for women’s rights would be raised.
