The United Nations Condemns the Taliban Regime of Afghanistan for Gross Human Rights Abuses

The United Nations last week on the second anniversary of the Islamist Taliban militia’s seizure of power in Afghanistan has stated that the oppressive terrorist-sponsoring militia has not changed since the last time it ruled Afghanistan. In addition to violating the freedom of expression and assembly, the UN enumerated a list of abuses by the Taliban: violent and discriminatory oppression, forced marriages—even for children, economic and sexual exploitation, the sale of organs and children, forced child labor and human trafficking. I have also posted how the Taliban, who are intertwined with terrorists, have killed many who had worked for the elected Afghan Government. After the United States and its coalition allies withdrew, the Taliban seized power in 2021 after having been removed in 2002 by an international coalition led by the U.S. because the militia had hosted the al-Qaeda terrorists responsible for the September 11, 2001 Terrorist Attacks, the deadliest in history. No State has reocognized the Taliban as the legitimate government of Afghanistan.
