Taliban Leaders Delisted by UN has triggered strong criticism from the National Mobilization Front of Afghanistan, which called the move unfair and harmful to the Afghan people.
The Front said Taliban Leaders Delisted by UN comes at a time when the group continues strict policies across Afghanistan. It pointed out that over the past five years, the Taliban have limited basic rights, especially for women and girls. Civil freedoms remain restricted, and many citizens still live under fear.
According to the statement, Taliban Leaders Delisted by UN ignores the reality on the ground. The Front believes there has been no real change in the group’s behavior or governance style. It said removing key figures from the sanctions list sends the wrong message.
The Front also raised concerns about regional security. It claimed that Taliban Leaders Delisted by UN could reduce global pressure, even though the group is accused of allowing foreign militant networks to operate. This, it warned, may increase risks for neighboring countries.
Taliban Leaders Delisted by UN is being seen by many Afghans as a step that could give political space to a group still viewed as repressive. The Front stressed that such decisions do not reflect the will of the Afghan people.
In its appeal, the Front urged global powers to rethink the decision. It asked the international community to stand with Afghan citizens and support their rights, including freedom, justice, and political participation.
The statement added that Taliban Leaders Delisted by UN may weaken efforts to push for real change in Afghanistan. It emphasized that lasting peace is only possible through an inclusive political system that represents all groups, including women and youth.
The Front concluded by urging the world to listen to Afghan voices before taking major decisions. It warned against steps that could strengthen groups accused of human rights violations and called for renewed focus on justice and stability in the country.
