During a press conference at UN headquarters, he said: “I am appalled that the Taliban ‘s promises to women and girls in Afghanistan have not been heeded.

“I urge the Taliban to fulfill their promises to women and girls and to fulfill their obligations under international human rights and humanitarian law,” he added.

In this regard, the UN official said, “We will not give up.”

“Broken promises will lead to shattered dreams of women and girls in Afghanistan,” said Antonio Guterres, who, since 2001, has “reduced the average time at school by six to ten years”. “Eighty percent of Afghanistan’s economy is informal, with women playing a key role. Without them, Afghanistan’s economy and society would have no chance of recovery,” she warned.

The UN chief also declared that “I urge the world to promote cash flow in the Afghan economy” as Afghanistan’s assets are frozen and development aid halted to avert an economic collapse in Afghanistan.

“We need to find ways to” allow people to live “,” breathe new life into the economy “and” we can do this without violating international law, “he said.

This practice, especially with US-approved bank exemptions, has already been applied to Yemen in the past, among other things.

According to Antonio Guterres, “the international community is moving too slowly” to pay cash flow into the Afghan economy. “The people of Afghanistan cannot suffer collective punishment for the conduct of the Taliban,” he said, alluding to sanctions against Kabul.

In Afghanistan, the humanitarian and economic crisis affects at least 18 million people, or half the population.

International humanitarian aid has so far been provided unhindered by the Taliban to various parts of Afghanistan, and even with assistance in matters of their “cooperation” and “security,” said Antonio Guterres.

“The number of incidents during humanitarian operations is gradually declining,” he said.

The new Islamic regime that came to power in Afghanistan in August has not been recognized by any country. But in the face of the imminence of a serious humanitarian crisis in this country, which has relied entirely on international aid since the end of the 20-year war, diplomatic maneuvers are on the rise.

In Doha on Saturday, the Taliban met with US officials for the first direct talks with Washington since coming to power. Their foreign minister called on the United States to “establish good relations” and not to “weaken the current government in Afghanistan.”
