People Flee Country If Justice Doesn’t Prevail, Says Taliban Deputy FM
During a meeting in Kabul, the Taliban's deputy foreign minister for political affairs, Abbas Stanekzai, said that the continuation of the Taliban regime in Afghanistan depends on ensuring justice in the Afghanistan.
Stanekzai said that in a society people do not trust a system where justice has not been established and corruption and disorder prevail and then, flee the country.
"In any society where justice is not provided and people are not given equal rights as human beings and Muslims, people do not consider that system to be their own and flee the country," the Taliban official said on Saturday at the Taliban's Foreign Ministry's Institute for Strategic Studies.
Stanekzai also stated that Afghans have always been victorious on the battlefield, but they have lost in the political arena.
He stressed that if they fail to carry out their responsibilities properly and make the system "stable and lasting", they will be accountable to God and the "martyrs" of the past 20 years.
For the stability of the group's system, the Taliban's deputy foreign minister called for the expansion of relations with the international community, saying that the world is like a village and cannot be lived in without relations and trade.
Stanekzai also called on Taliban officials to take responsibility and stressed on the importance of paying attention to science and knowledge in the country.
After their return to power, the Taliban has closed universities and schools above the sixth grade to girls and confined women to their homes.
This comes as BRICS member countries have called for the formation of an inclusive national government in Afghanistan at their meeting in Kazan. The final resolution of the BRICS summit emphasises on the rights of ethnic groups and all citizens, including women.
Earlier, China and Pakistan also stressed on the need to form an inclusive government that includes all ethnic and political groups in Afghanistan. The Taliban has removed all ethnic and political groups from the scene and divided government seats among their fighters.
