Nabila Massrali, the EU foreign affairs spokesperson, stated that the bloc's operational engagement with the Taliban government does not imply official recognition. She explained that maintaining a local presence is solely to monitor conditions and assist civilians.
These comments follow reports of a potential EU meeting with Taliban representatives to discuss deporting Afghan asylum seekers. This controversial plan has provoked intense backlash from international human rights organizations and prominent women's rights activists.
A group of female activists penned an open letter calling this engagement a betrayal of Afghan women, demanding its immediate halt. They warned that these technical talks dangerously risk legitimizing systemic human rights violations across the country.
