I’m quoted in this detailed piece about Afghanistan:
“Dr. Andrew Korybko, a Moscow-based scholar and analyst, told The Media Line: “The Taliban are a political reality that can’t be ignored by any stakeholder that’s serious about engaging with Afghanistan. Every single one of them wants the Taliban to improve the human rights situation in the country, especially with women.”
“Nevertheless, they don’t have any way to force it to do so since the Taliban’s ideology is responsible for these problems,” he continued. “Their members firmly believe in treating people, and especially women, in a certain way that’s at odds with global norms.”
Korybko explained that the Taliban’s ideology is firmly rooted in their religious interpretations, making any talk of change or reform sacrilegious. He believes that as the Taliban’s rule over Afghanistan is unchallenged, nothing is likely to change in their human rights policies.
“The Taliban can’t be bought off on this issue and it appears impossible to expect gradual change from within their ranks,” he said. “As such, those who do business in Afghanistan nowadays must therefore tacitly accept the Taliban’s poor human rights record.””
