Blinken declared presence of pressure levers on Taliban

US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said that Washington uses all economic and diplomatic levers of influence on the militants of the Radical Movement “Taliban” (prohibited in the Russian Federation), for the sake of respect for human rights in Afghanistan. This is reported by TASS.

“We use, and I use, working together with allies and partners who think in many ways as well as all we have the diplomatic and economic instruments, as well as tools in the field of providing assistance in order to make everything possible to defend them [ Afghans] basic rights, “he said.

On August 24, the UN reported that the radical group will recruit children, execute civilians and limits the rights of women. It is argued that the Taliban is conducting extrajudicial reprisals over former members of the National Safety Forces of Afghanistan, deprives women of the right to free movement and prohibits girls to attend schools.

On August 15, the militants of the Taliban movement entered Kabul and declared the full control over the territory of Afghanistan. They also announced that soon the creation of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan was proclaimed.
