Many Taliban leaders are under sanctions, and no country recognizes them as Afghanistan’s legitimate rulers.
The Taliban on Tuesday disavowed many Afghan diplomatic missions overseas, saying it will not honor passports, visas and other documents issued by diplomats associated with Afghanistan's former Western-backed administration. It’s the Taliban's latest attempt to seize control of diplomatic missions since returning to power in 2021. The country’s seat at the United Nations is still held by the former government that was led by Ashraf Ghani, but the Taliban wants it.
” In March 2023, the Taliban said they were trying to take charge of more Afghan embassies abroad. Their chief spokesman, Zabihullah Mujahid, said the administration had sent diplomats to at least 14 countries. The new developments mean the closest available Afghan embassies for people in Europe are likely to be in Spain and the Netherlands.
