Faiq urges Taliban to honor people’s demands and international obligations

Nasseer Ahmad Faiq, Acting Permanent Representative of Afghanistan to the United Nations, Urges Taliban to Respect the Wishes of the People and the International Community.

Faiq, the Acting Permanent Representative of Afghanistan to the United Nations, called on the Taliban to respect the demands of the Afghan people and the international community. He made this statement during a meeting of the United Nations Security Council on Afghanistan, held on Thursday, December 12.

In his speech, Mr. Faiq expressed deep concern about the widespread human rights violations in Afghanistan under Taliban rule. He emphasized the need for an end to the Taliban’s repressive policies and for the government to respect the will of the people.

“The meeting is being held in the context of Afghanistan’s collapsing economy, with millions being forced to flee the country,” Mr. Faiq said in his address. He also highlighted that the humanitarian situation in Afghanistan is critical, with 23.7 million people in urgent need of assistance, according to aid organizations.

Faiq warned the United Nations Security Council about the severe consequences of reducing funding for humanitarian aid in Afghanistan. He stressed that these funds need to be increased to address the growing crisis in the country.

Meanwhile, Rosemary DiCarlo, the United Nations Under-Secretary-General for Political and Peacebuilding Affairs and Head of UNAMA, also expressed concerns at the Security Council regarding the human rights, economic, and security situation in Afghanistan.

The international community, especially the United Nations, must take immediate action to address the worsening humanitarian crisis and human rights violations in Afghanistan.

The Taliban’s failure to respect the rights and wishes of the Afghan people continues to undermine any prospects for peace and stability in the region. Without increased support for humanitarian efforts and concrete action to prevent Afghanistan from becoming a hub for terrorism, the country’s future remains uncertain.

The international community must remain committed to providing aid and pressure the Taliban to respect human rights and ensure a better future for all Afghans.
