Taliban delegation is in Geneva for a week of NGO-hosted talks on humanitarian aid and human rights, as Afghanistan suffers from financial chaos, with inflation and unemployment surging
Taliban feels it is inching closer towards international recognition, as its delegates hold talks in several countries.
"The country is facing a complex emergency due to past overlapping armed conflicts, Covid-19 and its socio-economic consequences, and extreme weather," the non-governmental organisation said in a statement. The delegation will also meet with Swiss and other European officials, plus the Red Cross –– though Switzerland's Foreign Ministry insisted on Tuesday that their presence on Swiss soil did not constitute recognition of the Taliban.
"We have come closer to that goal," he said, as he urged Washington to unlock Afghanistan's frozen assets, some $10 billion, to help ease the humanitarian crisis. Representatives from the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation, and from the foreign ministry's Peace and Human Rights Division and its Asia and Pacific Division, are also due to meet the delegation this week.The International Committee of the Red Cross said it would hold talks with the delegation from IEA.
