The Taliban has vowed to tackle climate change and global security as part of the terror group’s attempt to rebrand itself and modernise despite reports of civilian executions and the erosion of women’s rights under the new Afghan regime.
Abdul Qahar Balkhi, a member of the Taliban’s Cultural Commission, says the Islamists want to play a role on the global stage.
He told Newsweek: ‘We hope not only to be recognised by regional countries but the entire world at large as the legitimate representative government of the people of Afghanistan who have gained their right of self-determination from a foreign occupation with the backing and support of an entire nation after a prolonged struggle and immense sacrifices despite all odds being stacked against our people.
‘We believe the world has a unique opportunity of rapprochement and coming together to tackle the challenges not only facing us but the entire humanity.
‘These challenges ranging from world security and climate change need the collective efforts of all, and cannot be achieved if we exclude or ignore an entire people who have been devastated by imposed wars for the past four decades.’

Hey, congratulations to John Kerry, climate czar for the US. He’s now got to go negotiate with Abdul Qahar Balkhi, a member of the Taliban’s Cultural Commission . . . very likely their only member given the “depth” of the Taliban’s culture, but I digress . . . so as to coordinate how Afghanistan can now help “fight climate change”, and win.
With the armament left behind by incompetence/design, the Totalban will most likely become a serious problem for their sponsors.
I really wouldn’t worry too much about the equipment that the Taliban acquired from the Afghan army for 2 reasons. First – most of it wasn’t top tier equipment, apart from the 45 Blackhawk’s, it was mainly leftovers and older equipment that was obsolete in the modern US military and they’ll never get the spare parts to keep them running. Second – the Taliban have been buying arms and equipment from Russia and China for the last 20-30 years and have a large selection to choose from, some of which is far better than the Afghan army had. The Taliban use drones, attack helicopters, armoured vehicles and artillery systems – all of which they would have had without any of the stuff left behind by the Afghan army.
They’ve got my vote, then, Do they require voter ID?
Premature evacuation is a first-order forcing of [catastrophic] [anthropogenic] sociopolitical climate change, immigration reform, and “burdens”.
Technically, if they kill enough people, they are reducing their CO2
Obviously, since they say they are are going to “fight climate change,” the ones murdered and raped are irrelevant.
Perhaps they will “fight climate change” by forcing everyone back to a medieval economy.
Just need to eliminate modern education … Allah will provide … or not … whatever …
I don’t believe any of the reports coming out from Afghanistan.
People still gullible to fall for international news reports?
Iraqi soldiers killing babies in incubators anyone? Forget that one? Never happened.
Yeah – I saw that one as well, but what is the cause and effect? The actual story of Kuwaiti babies dying as Iraqi soldiers stole the incubators never happened but Kuwaiti babies did die as the medical staff fled in advance of the Iraqi invasion. The atrocity propaganda can maybe be ignored but people are dying caused by the Taliban – this is true, whatever the specific details of the individual cases may be.
Haha, Taliban goes woke, why the F not?…lot’s of $$$ in that…
They’ve gone woke.
Well I suppose the Taliban manifesto was the basis for a lot of Green Party leaders.
Pretty straight forward. Bomb the world back to the 7th century and end industrialization.
Climate change solved. Taliban style.
Well okay then, Taliban, all is forgiven.
president dimensia said he trusts the taliban… what could go wrong… they’re like the Isuzu guy ” would I lie?”
