Lawyers:US support for Taliban against theAfghan government is in violation of all international law


Lawyers and analysts: US support for an armed terrorist group against the Afghan government is against all international principles and laws.

They are stating that The United States is not using its power to enforce the law, Rather, they use governments, groups, and organizations for their own interests and goals.


Subsequently, the attacks in Kabul and Nangarhar, in which dozens of innocent people were killed and in which the Afghan government blamed the Taliban for the attacks; Senior US officials responded by saying in a statement in support of the Taliban that they had not carried out the attacks.

The Afghan government reacted sharply to those remarks made by Mike Pompeo and Zalmai Khalilzad, and First Vice President Amrullah Saleh has said that the Taliban's refusal to accept responsibility for the attacks does not mean their innocent.


Mohibullah Allahyar, a university lecturer and lawyer, told Zawia News: "The United States has not always considered governments, systems, groups and individuals important in its foreign policy; rather their own goals are important to them, and they pursue the same people who have similar goals to them."


"They now see their goals in the activities of the Taliban," he said.  Because now they support an armed group against a legitimate government and they are imposing them on the Afghan government.


Political analyst: Jan Agha Bahar said the United States should not rush into the acquittal of the Taliban. This is because the Taliban have provided and are providing a fertile ground for all militant groups.

He said Zalmai Khalilzad's address to the Afghan government in favour of the Taliban was a mistake and a violation of all international norms.

"The Taliban are responsible for every attack in Afghanistan," he said.  This is because ISIS, Lashkar-e-Taiba, the Haqqani network, the Tehreek-e-Taliban and other terrorist groups have emerged from places where the Taliban have destabilized and dominated.


Analysts state that after the attacks in Kabul and Jalalabad, the Afghan government’s views have been justified, that the Afghan National Security Forces are fighting 20 terrorist groups in the country and if they are not careful about bringing a sustainable peace; the war will continue even after an agreement is reached with the Taliban.
