Nasir Ahmad Andisha, Afghanistan’s representative in Geneva, has issued a stark warning that the Taliban’s rule is causing a deep “existential and identity crisis” for the nation.
He argues that nations are built on shared values and culture, not force, and that the Taliban’s bans on music, women’s rights, and cultural heritage are accelerating the collapse of the Afghan nation.
Describing the Taliban as “killers of culture,” Andisha states that the group does not represent the Afghan people and that their ideology cannot accommodate the country’s ethnic and linguistic diversity.
He highlighted that cherished traditions like Nowruz, poetry, and hospitality are being systematically dismantled under the current regime.
Andisha also strongly criticized intellectuals and figures collaborating with the Taliban, labeling them as complicit in this cultural destruction.
He concluded that the survival of Afghanistan depends on a collective resistance to save the nation’s soul and restore its standing in the international community.
