The Current Regim’s Repressive Policies Endanger the Future of Afghanistan: Belgium FM

Belgium Foreign Minister Hadja Lahbib says that the Afghan interim regime’s rigid policies endanger the future of Afghanistan, particularly that of women and girls.  

On the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference (MSC) 2023, Foreign Minister Lahbib said on Twitter that her country is fully committed to supporting the people of Afghanistan under all circumstances.  

She further added on the joint coordination of the international community and the regional players in matters regarding war-torn Afghanistan.

While speaking at a round table at Munich Security Conference, the foreign minister said that the volatile security situation is a reality in Afghanistan, and efforts should be made to find a solution to this critical challenge posing threats to the security of this country, its neighbors, and beyond.

Mahbuba Seraj, a journalist and women rights activist, and Hosna Jalil, a former Deputy Interior Minister represented Afghanistan at Munich Security Conference.

Participants at MSC 2023 discussed Afghanistan, with special emphasis on the dire humanitarian and economic situation in the country. The deteriorating security situation and the growing threat of Terrorism in the country were other key aspects of the meeting.

Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari in a panel discussion at MSC on Saturday called on the international community to engage with the Afghan Taliban regime and take on threats of terrorism.

Bilawal said that Afghanistan’s neighbors and the international community wanted the Afghan caretaker government to live up to its commitment in the areas of women’s education, forming an inclusive government, and talking about potential threats from terrorist groups of Daesh, TTP, and Al-Qaeda.

Pakistani politicians have repeatedly accused the Afghan Taliban of providing hideouts for terror groups, who launch attacks on Pakistan. However, Afghan authorities have rejected such baseless claims and have said the caretaker regime will not allow terror groups to operate in Afghanistan and pose threats to the security of Afghanistan’s neighbors or the international community.
