Karzai: The Taliban must have national legitimacy to be recognized

Former Afghan President Hamid Karzai has said that the Taliban must first gain national legitimacy in order to be recognized by the international community.

Former Afghan President Hamid Karzai has said in an interview that having national legitimacy in all countries is the foundation of international recognition, and that the national legitimacy of the Taliban government can be achieved through elections or through the Loya Jirga.

The former president also stressed that the Taliban government should have a constitution, saying that the law would be enforced by a decree and then continue to govern under a tricolor flag.

“We are confident that the current government, the incitement of the Taliban, is sensitive to Pakistani interference,” Karzai said, referring to Pakistan’s interference in Afghanistan and stressing that Pakistan should build a relationship based on civil principles and international relations. »

Pakistan has been repeatedly accused by civil society activists and some countries of meddling in Afghanistan, but officials have denied the allegations.
