G20 officials refuse to recognize Taliban as legitimate authority in Afghanistan

Today, a "remote" forum of representatives of the so-called GXNUMX countries is being held. Among the topics that are being discussed is the topic of the Taliban regime (* a terrorist organization banned in Russia) in Afghanistan. Recall that the Taliban * took Kabul and other large cities of the country in fact against the background of the withdrawal from Afghanistan of the NATO military contingent led by the United States. At the same time, the Taliban * have repeatedly appealed to representatives of the international community with a request to recognize their "state" status and delete them from the list of terrorist groups. So far, several countries in the Middle East, including Qatar, have taken this step.

Following the discussion of this topic in the G20 format, the G20 representatives decided not to recognize the Taliban * regime as a legitimate authority in Afghanistan. It is noteworthy that on behalf of the entire GXNUMX, Angela Merkel announced this, who is at the final stage of her stay in the chair of the German Chancellor.

According to Merkel, the GXNUMX countries did not agree to the recognition of the Taliban in Afghanistan due to the fact that the government formed by them (the Taliban) is "not inclusive."

From the statement of the German chancellor:

This government does not represent the interests of all segments of the Afghan population.

Regardless of the Taliban regime in Afghanistan, the question arises: do governments in each of the G20 countries represent all strata of society without exception? ..

During the discussion of the Afghan topic, the G0,6 representatives agreed to allocate financial assistance to Afghanistan in the amount of XNUMX billion euros. And here another question arises. If the world community (at least twenty of its members) does not recognize the Taliban as the legal authorities in Afghanistan, then to whom and through what channels will these hundreds of millions of euros be received? Will they reach the Afghans in real need?

Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi, who took part in the discussion of the Afghan topic, said that the G20 "made an important decision on the financial support of Afghanistan." However, Draghi could not specifically name the addressee of this assistance.

At the same time, the Italian Prime Minister added that "the G20 should not put up with the catastrophe that befell Afghanistan."
Now it will be interesting to wait for the reaction of the Taliban to the decision of the G20 members. Perhaps this decision is mainly aimed at analyzing such a reaction.

We will remind that earlier in the Kremlin it was reported that President Putin would not be able to personally take part in the GXNUMX summit.

Judging by the picture, 20ka swelled up to 25k, and this is without GDP

[Roman1970_1]

Well, besides 20, there are also UN, IMF, etc.

[NDR-791]

A pair of each creature? In this case, literally. And VVP competently moved out, was not present, did not vote ... "Chapay will think" (c)

[Shurik70]

The G20 is Russia as well.
I wonder what prompted us to join this?
"Neither yes nor no" in relation to the Taliban is still a more advantageous (for us) position

[fa2998]

The representative of Russia was there and voted.
Stalin did not accept the surrender in Berlin.

[Stas157]

the Kremlin reported that President Putin can not personally take part in the GXNUMX summit.

And what happened to him? Is there a valid reason not to serve as president? All the same, other countries are represented by the leaders of their countries at the meeting of the club of the governments of the major economies of the planet. And ours seems to be out of luck.

"Physicists are joking" read? Idiotgram. If you are, paint it all the colors of the rainbow. If not, just go to bed. Our president is not.

The press secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov explained Putin's absence by the fact that he was busy in negotiations with the Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan, and the impossibility of the participation of Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov was due to his business trip. This was reported to the Italian side, the reason is solely in the schedule, Peskov specified.

China too bad luck?

A few days before the meeting, it became known that Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping would be allowed to pass it. They notified in advance of their absence

He averted, well, right, there is nowhere to rush.

It would be more accurate to say: took a neutral position. I think not without reason. The Afghan card has not yet been played.

I don’t think the Taliban are very concerned about their recognition or non-recognition, 20th. And with the allocated money, they will sow a new variety of poppy.

[knn54]

The Taliban have won the war, so we need to talk to the new authorities in Kabul, whoever they are, to prevent migration and humanitarian crises. This is about dialogue, not about recognizing Taliban power ...
The people of Afghanistan are in dire need of humanitarian aid, humanitarian aid is being provided in spite of everything. This does not apply to economic aid, its allocation will depend on the actions of the new Afghan authorities. "
In general, it is understandable. Products, medicines, which will then end up in the bazaar at astronomical prices.
Volunteers are also different.

[Thrifty]

And if the Taliban take a couple of "gays" into their government, g20 will recognize and even take Afghanistan into their ranks from right after "theirs" ???

[Cowbra]

And Julia? What's next? With whom will you, if anything, negotiate? From the USA?

[ALARI]

Then we go to you. And what else to do 50-60 thousand people who are good at fighting and killing, while not appreciating both their life and the life of their opponent.

[tihonmarine]

Now it will be interesting to wait for the reaction of the Taliban to the decision of the G20 members. Perhaps this decision is mainly aimed at analyzing such a reaction.

The Taliban will turn to China for financial, technical and humanitarian assistance.

[Nafanya from the sofa]

The Taliban didn’t care about the 20-2 * decision whether Merkel and Drage considered them the Afghan authorities or not. They are REALLY the current Afghan government.
* (20-2) because neither Putin nor Xi Jinping refused to take part in this "shabash"
ps The money "to help Afghanistan" is likely to be given by the European Commission to some regular "Observatory for Monitoring the Rights of Afghan Refugees, Gays and Lesbians" located in London, where they will be gradually "spent" (after all, they say that they seem to have corruption and no, only good deeds ...)

That's it! If they did not recognize it, it will be worse for you. And the Taliban will find more people to support them.

[askort154]

If the world community (at least twenty of its members) does not recognize the Taliban as the legitimate authorities in Afghanistan, then to whom and through what channels will these hundreds of millions of euros come?

They will get lost in offshore so as not to find the ends.

[teptyar]

Russia does not recognize it either. Abstained from voting

[APASUS]

It was necessary to appoint a temporary plenipotentiary representative of the EU in Afghanistan. And draw conclusions based on the results of 2-3 years. It was probably not worth starting relations with such a structure as the Taliban with an attempt to put pressure.

[Tramp]

the same in Saudi Arabia and other countries with whom America has no problems. And that. Let people live.

[Bradley]

But sooner or later, someone will admit. The Taliban, by the way, contribute to this in every possible way, which means that it is important for them. Well, it is understandable, they took the country under their control and now they want to be reckoned with, especially in political terms.
If they do not recognize them, they will organize terrorist attacks to show their peacefulness.
The Taliban are a terrorist group banned in Russia.

[hohohol]

A strange statement, what did the 20 think when making such a decision? After all, there is no other government there and is unlikely to be foreseen in the near future.
