Russia’s Supreme Court eliminates terrorists’ position to Afghanistan’s Taliban
AdvertisementThe Supreme Court of Russia has launched a ban on a group of Taliban, which has been appointed as a terrorist organization for more than two decades.
The move was a diplomatic victory for a group that was placed on the list of terrorist organizations in Moscow in 2003, and any connection with them could be punished by law.
At the same time, Taliban representatives have participated in various forums organized by Russia, as Moscow sought to establish itself as the mediator of regional power.
The verdict of the court, following the request of the Attorney General’s Office, arises after the adoption of a law last year, which imposes that the official post of a terrorist organization can be suspended by the court.
Russian authorities recently emphasized the need to make contact with Taliban to “ensure” Afghanistan.
In recent years, Central Asian countries such as Kazakhstan and Greyistan have also removed the Taliban from their terrorist group lists.
In August 2021, the Taliban seized power in Afghanistan, the United States and NATO troops in the weeks after the two decades of war.
The Taliban initially promised a more moderate regime than the first period of power from 1996 to 2001, but shortly after the seizure of power, women and women began to impose strict restrictions on women and women.
Most public work and places, including parks, baths and gims, are prevented from accessing women, while women cannot attend the teaching of the sixth year.
At the beginning of this year, the UN He renewed his appeal to the Taliban to raise obstacles.
The mandates of the committee to curb women and women have affected foreign aid to the country.
Such activities have isolated the Taliban in the world scene, although their government has established diplomatic relations with countries like China and the United Arab Emirates.
The Taliban resumed the strict explanation of Islamic law, including the execution.
Some members prefer the most significant involvement with the international community, and prefer to put the difficult policies to attract additional support from abroad.
In recent months, there is a greater connection between Taliban and the United States under Donald Trump’s presidency, especially in prisoners’ exchange and release.

“However, I do not know that the relationship of individuals and corporations with Afghanistan will be simplified, but I do not know that other important benefits will have this level,” he said.
South Asia Analyst Michael Kugalman considers Russian action not innovative because many countries have not formally appointed Taliban as a terrorist organization.
At the same time, it considers the conclusion of “favorable” for bilateral relationships.

“However, as far as the Taliban is concerned, the court’s verdict is a consequence of its justification, and may prove its rule internationally,” Kugalman said.
