Gagnon: Taliban's indifference is leading Afghanistan to lose global support

She emphasized that the security situation in Afghanistan is relatively calm, stating that the border clashes between the Taliban and Pakistan have resulted in exchanges of fire, airstrikes, and civilian casualties, and the closure of border crossings has also had economic repercussions for both countries.


Gagnon welcomed the Taliban's decision to allow the passage of humanitarian consignments; however, she called for both sides to seriously address the core issues and commit to a ceasefire.


She described the ban on Afghan female staff entering United Nations offices as a blatant violation of human rights and United Nations principles, and urged the Security Council to show greater support to prevent the normalization of this situation.


The head of UNAMA stated that the United Nations is committed to a principles-based approach to engagement with Afghanistan and has proposed a "political roadmap" within the framework of the Doha process to advance key issues.


She added that disagreements between the Taliban and the international community, and even among governments themselves, have made progress difficult; however, she emphasized that UNAMA is working to bridge these gaps.


Gagnon concluded by saying that despite serious challenges, there is still an opportunity to begin addressing the root causes of the crises, provided that the Security Council supports efforts to maintain the path of engagement and achieve a stable Afghanistan integrated into the international community and committed to human rights.

Georgette Gagnon, head of UNAMA, announced at the Security Council meeting that the Taliban continue to ignore opportunities for dialogue and cooperation with the international community, and this has led to increased concern and frustration among donor countries.
