PARIS (AP) – French President Emmanuel Macron said on Tuesday that he wanted the Group of 20 Great Economic Powers to set the conditions for the recognition of the Taliban, including guaranteeing the rights of women and girls.
So far under the Taliban, young Afghan girls have been allowed to return to primary school, but older girls have not been allowed to go to high school and most women have not been allowed. to return to work.
Macron told France-Inter radio that world powers should tell the Taliban: “You absolutely have to give young girls in your country a future, and that is one of the things we will look at before we recognize you.”
He said allowing all the girls to return to school was one of his concerns.
Macron also told France-Inter radio that he would raise the issue at the upcoming G20 summit in Rome later this month. Among other conditions of recognition, he said, should be that the Taliban allow humanitarian operations to continue, and condemn and refuse to cooperate with “Islamist terrorist groups” in the region.
Macron said that the Western powers should not set such conditions, but should also “convince the regional powers, powers that do not necessarily have the same values ​​as us on all matters, to Act together”.
At a meeting on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly last month, the G20 powers discussed sending a unified message to the Taliban before granting them global legitimacy.
