The Taliban is a jihadist group, similar to the Islamic State. Nonetheless, the UN takes the Taliban at its word. Western taxpayer money sent to Afghanistan will serve the Taliban’s primary goal of expanding the scope of the Sharia and abetting the group’s brutality, toward women in particular. The US and EU are apparently surprised by the way the Taliban is behaving, even though it is consistent with the group’s stated principles. The statement actually mentioned that the Taliban’s human rights abuses “contradict the Taliban’s announced amnesty,” demonstrating zero knowledge and understanding about the jihad, the Taliban and the obvious manipulation and deceit in the way of jihad that the group is employing.
“US and European allies condemn Taliban over ‘summary killings,'” Europe News, December 5, 2021:
The United States and their European allies condemned the Taliban on Sunday following reports that former members of the Afghan security forces were executed or forcibly disappeared.
“We are deeply concerned by reports of summary killings and enforced disappearances of former members of the Afghan security forces as documented by Human Rights Watch and others,” a statement released by the US State Department said.
The text was also signed by Australia, Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, Denmark, the European Union, Finland, France, Germany, Japan, the Netherlands, New Zealand, North Macedonia, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and Ukraine.
“We underline that the alleged actions constitute serious human rights abuses and contradict the Taliban’s announced amnesty,” the statement read.
The Taliban seized power on August 15 when they swept into the capital Kabul as the internationally-backed government collapsed.
The Taliban leadership has repeatedly announced that workers of the former government, including members of the armed forces, have nothing to fear from them. Former army officers have said they were ordered to give up their weapons, and in return they received a document confirming their surrender and ensuring their safety.
But in a report released on Tuesday, Human Rights Watch said Taliban fighters had summarily killed or forcibly disappeared more than 100 former police and intelligence officers since taking power.

Does any rational person believe that the Taliban cares if anyone is “concerned” about their behavior?
What tripe.

so, “fah-git about it,” says the taliban don….the taliban are in control….the *war* is over and done and they are aware of it, so what good is it doing to condemn whatever actions they take?
They couldn’t care less what other nations think….as long as they are given the cash, and they will continue to be given the cash, just as the pakis and the pa are given huge amounts. One cannot buy their obedience to human norms.

One would have to venture to say, thousands upon thousands have been killed since the US’ “successful pull-out in Aug/Sept.
how many are Americans; don’t care about the “interpreters”

Greetings:
This morning the World Bank announced that it would be sending $280 million to their Islamic brothers in Afghanistan to avert the “food security” crisis that the Talibunnies fomented.
That didn’t take very long now did it ???
Michael Copeland says
As it is for “security” the Taliban will feel entitled to spend it on weapons.
john smith says
It’s a massive mistake sending them money, as most it will be going into the pockets of the taliban leaders, but I do believe we should be sending them food parcels.

Greetings, John smith:
Government cheese for instance ??? There should be some of that around somewhere.

The US & EU are deeply concerned about the Taliban’s broken promises and condemns its summary killings…gee we never saw that coming.
Joh says
EU cares , what a JOKE, EU is islamic itself. EU organises the Invasion itself threatening to persecute Countries that refuse to allow the Invading Terrorists into their Countries. EU and the UN are doing SATANIC Work helping islam.

A leopard cannot change its spots. It never surprises how easily the Islamists can hoodwink the Christian elites.
OLD GUY says
Whats wrong with the leaders of the US and EU? How in the hell can these intelligent, educated people be so blind or stupid as to believe that the Taliban would not commit atrocities and abuse against the citizens of Afghanistan that worked with their enemies. The Taliban and HUMNAN RIGHTS violations is a given, its their ideology.
gravenimage says
US, EU ‘deeply concerned’ about Taliban’s broken promises, condemn its ‘summary killings’
………….
How could anyone even vaguely paying attention be surpised by this?
