In this exclusive interview with Amu TV, European Union Special Envoy for Afghanistan Gilles Bertrand discusses women’s rights, girls’ education, deportations from Europe, tensions between Afghanistan and Pakistan, the Taliban’s quest for international recognition, terrorism concerns, humanitarian aid, and the future of Afghanistan.
Bertrand explains why the European Union continues its policy of “principled engagement” with the Taliban while refusing to recognize their government. He says progress has been limited on key international demands, including respect for human rights and the formation of a more inclusive government.
