Kabul, 22 July, 2023 (GNP): The interim Taliban administration stated that the bans and sanctions will not favor the people of the battle-scarred nation, on Friday.
The representative of the Taliban administration Zabihullah Mujahid expressed that imposing sanctions over the Taliban leaders “is not beneficial to any side.”
“Instead of using pressure and sanctions, interaction, dialogue, and understanding should be used. Repeating the failed experience against Afghans and imposing politics did not give results,” he added.

Since taking back control in August 2021, the Taliban have banned Afghan women from pursuing higher education, going to beauty salons, and working in many areas of the public sector.
Moreover, the Taliban administration is continuously violating the basic human rights on Afghan soil and providing safe havens to its like-minded Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP).
