'We cannot and must not abandon the people of Afghanistan.'
UNITED NATIONS -The U.N. Security Council on Monday called for talks to create a new government in Afghanistan and an end to fighting and abuse after U.N. chief Antonio Guterres warned of "chilling" curbs on human rights and mounting violations against women and girls.
The Security Council stressed the importance of combating terrorism in Afghanistan to ensure other countries were not threatened or attacked, and said "that neither the Taliban nor any other Afghan group or individual should support terrorists operating on the territory of any other country." Independent U.N. experts reported to the Security Council last month that al Qaeda is present in at least 15 Afghan provinces, consisting mainly of Afghan and Pakistani nationals, but also people from Bangladesh, India and Myanmar."Afghanistan must never again become a haven for terrorists. This is the bottom line," China's deputy U.N. Ambassador Geng Shuang told the council. "We hope that the Taliban... make a clean break with the terrorist organizations.
"We are receiving chilling reports of severe restrictions on human rights throughout the country. I am particularly concerned by accounts of mounting human rights violations against the women and girls of Afghanistan," Guterres said. "The Taliban have reportedly said that women have nothing to fear from them," she told the council. "Telling the international community what it wants to hear will fool no one. We will not turn a blind eye to the truth."
