And Pakistan was one of the first country which gave Afghanistan embassy to Taliban.
Russians gave Afghanistan embassy to the Taliban.
So therefore, this is very unfortunate that such country are having such ties with the Taliban and not realizing that such policies
It only involves Taliban and doesn't matter how much you bribe Taliban or give them something to appease to Taliban.
Such mentality, it just wants to spread.
And without a legitimate government in Afghanistan, all these, all those issues they have in their head, it cannot be solved.
With their statement and their policies, I believe so.
And maybe not directly, but their policies is indicating that they do not want any insurgency or any freedom fighting to happen against the Taliban.
Probably that is one of the things they promised to the Taliban, that after our withdrawal, we were not going to support any opposition and we won't allow anyone to support your opposition.
Probably it's one of those hidden parts of the Doha deal.
I don't know about that, that was he discouraged, and also about the promising of support.
France has a very historical relationship with Afghanistan.
and in terms of basically supporting Afghanistan way before the wars even began in Afghanistan and having many schools, French schools across Afghanistan, especially in Kabul.

But in terms of support, there was nothing concrete and there was no such thing as talking in this regard or any promises for the support.
Of course, they are supporting the human right and woman right in one of the few countries in Europe which is very much advocating for such thing.
for Afghanistan, in which we appreciate it.
But there was not a promise in that regard to be discouraged by US.
But unfortunately, the policies our US and current administration is having, it is disappointing regarding Afghanistan.
