[Text/Observer Wang Shichun]Faced with the Taliban who are launching an offensive across the country, US Secretary of State Blinken said in a meeting with Indian Foreign Minister Jason Su on July 28 that if the Taliban controls Afghanistan by force, Afghanistan will become a “untouchable country.”
According to a report by Al Jazeera on July 29, during a visit to New Delhi, Brinken warned the Taliban at a press conference that if it wants global acceptance, it must make changes. Blinken said: “The Taliban said they seek international recognition and hope that the international community will support Afghanistan, lift sanctions, etc., but taking over the country by force and violating the rights of the people is not the way to achieve these goals.”

Brinken said that there is no “military solution” to the conflict in Afghanistan. An Afghanistan that does not respect the rights of its people and an Afghanistan that has committed atrocities against its own people will become a “untouchable country.” The United States will continue to support stability in the region, Brinken said: “We will continue to work together to maintain the achievements of the Afghan people and support regional stability after the coalition forces withdraw from the country.”
This week, after the U.S. ground forces basically withdrew from Afghanistan, the U.S. military resumed airstrikes against the Taliban to prevent the organization’s offensive against major cities in Afghanistan.
The commander of the U.S. Central Command, Marine Corps Admiral Kenneth “Frank” McKenzie (Kenneth “Frank” McKenzie) confirmed at a press conference in Kabul on July 25 that the U.S. military has increased air strikes against the Taliban.
MacKenzie said: “In the past few days, the US military has increased the number of air strikes (against the Taliban) to support Afghan forces. If the Taliban continue to launch attacks, we are prepared to continue to strengthen support for the Afghan government forces in the coming weeks… some air strikes The attack took place during close combat between the Afghan security forces and the Taliban.”
Although the U.S. military resumed air strikes, Afghan President Ashraf Ghani said. He delivered a speech on July 28, urging the international community to “re-examine the willingness of the Taliban and its supporters to accept a political solution.” He said: “In terms of scale and scope, we are facing an unprecedented invasion in the past 30 years, which is (even worse) than the situation where the Taliban swept the country in the 1990s… This is a joint between transnational terrorist networks and transnational criminal organizations. Got up.”
The Afghan government and Taliban negotiators held talks in Doha, the capital of Qatar, in recent weeks. Diplomats said that since the peace talks began in September, there have been few signs of substantial progress. However, on July 23, the Afghan government and the Taliban delegation held their first meeting after the Gurban festival in Qatar. Both parties agreed to speed up the peace negotiation process.
