ISLAMABAD, 07 September 2021, (TON): The Taliban called for recognition of Afghanistan, saying the country "has the right" to be recognised while urging the international community to reopen their embassies in Kabul.
Spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid told a press conference in Kabul “the war has ended, the country is getting out of the crisis. It is now time for peace and reconstruction. We need the people to support us.”
Addressing journalists at the press conference, Mujahid stressed that “Afghanistan has the right to be recognised”.
He said “the international community should open their embassies in Kabul.”
The Taliban spokesman also called upon military personnel who served under the previous regime to join the new force. “The Afghan forces who were trained in the past 20 years will be asked to rejoin the security departments alongside Taliban members.”
He said that any insurgency against their rule would be “hit hard”, after earlier saying they had captured the Panjshir Valley, the last pocket of resistance.
