EU does not recognise new Taliban regime

European Union will not recognise the Taliban regime which imposed through violence. In a statement, EU President  Ursula Von der Leyen said that European Union does not recognise the new regime, imposed through violence, but need to prevent the imminent economic and social collapse that the country faces. She said that it is needed to stand by the people of Afghanistan. Ms Leyen also highlighted the humanitarian aid provided to Afghanistan.  Meanwhile, Russia, United States, Japan, Canada, France and UK have expressed that they are not planning to recognise the government formed by the Taliban. The country is currently battered by the deepening economic, humanitarian, and security crisis following the Taliban takeover.

Additionally, global financial organisations like World Bank and International Monetary Fund (IMF) have also refused to accept the all-male caretaker government of the Islamic Emirati after it was formed on September 8. The global leaders have vehemently condemned the lack of reflection of the "Afghan society" in the outfit-led cabinet of Afghanistan. This has also led to a halt in the disbursement of vital aids to the war-torn nation thus pushing it to the brink of "universal poverty."  The US has no plans to release Afghanistan Financial Reserves worth $9.5 billion anytime soon. The IMF has also decided to halt fund supply to Afghanistan amidst rising political instability in the war-torn country. The decision was announced by IMF spokesperson Gerry Rice highlighting that the funds will remain suspended until there is clarity within the international community on recognition of the Taliban-led government.
