Amir Khan Muttaqi, acting Minister of Foreign Affairs for the Taliban administration, addressed staff in a meeting regarding the Taliban leader’s decree on marriage and the prohibition of inappropriate customs. He asserted that an “ethnic balance” has been established within their governance structure.<\/p>\n
In his 20-minute speech, Muttaqi stated that individuals from various ethnic groups have been given representation in the Taliban administration, and that their organizational composition has been arranged based on this balance. However, he did not provide specific details about how this balance is maintained or the extent of participation by different ethnic groups.<\/p>\n
This claim comes amid reports from international organizations indicating that about 90 percent of the Taliban leadership is composed of members from a single ethnic group, and that all members of the leadership structure have been selected from within the Taliban ranks themselves.<\/p>\n
Critics have consistently emphasized that the lack of genuine and inclusive participation of various ethnic groups and political factions in the power structure is one of the fundamental challenges facing the Taliban administration. This issue also casts a shadow over the internal legitimacy and international relations of the Taliban regime.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
