Berlin (Kubha News): European Parliament members expressed grave concern over the humanitarian crisis unfolding in Afghanistan, passing a resolution condemning the Taliban’s egregious actions.
EU members emphasized the destruction of the justice system and the exclusion of women and girls from public life, demanding their immediate restoration of rights. MEPs insisted that any EU engagement with the Taliban must adhere to strict conditions set by the Council and UN Special Rapporteur recommendations.
