As tensions between the Taliban and Pakistan continues, the Pakistani defense minister, Khawaja Asif, has said that “the Taliban regime” is unrepresentative of the Afghan people and that it has systematically violated human rights in the country over the past four years.
“The non-representative Taliban regime suffers from deep internal divisions and is responsible for the continued repression of ethnic groups, women, children and minorities in Afghanistan,” Asif wrote Saturday on X. “They have deprived the Afghan people of basic rights including freedom of expression, education and political representation.”
