The Russian Ministries of Justice and Foreign Affairs have presented President Vladimir Putin with a proposal to potentially remove the name ‘Taliban’ from the list of designated terrorist groups.
According to TASS news agency, Zamir Kabulov, Russia’s special representative for Afghanistan, stated that many government institutions in the country have supported this decision.
Kabulov also mentioned that although the “Taliban” have come a long way towards recognition since their rule in Afghanistan, there are still some “hurdles.”
TASS, citing Zamir Kabulov, said; “The Taliban government has come a long way towards being recognized since it came to power in Afghanistan in 2021. But there are still hurdles to overcome, after which the Russian leadership will make a decision.”
Analysts opine that if the Russian government decided to remove the Taliban from the terrorist group list, it would be of significant importance for the Taliban and the region.
