He further stated that in the past, despite various agreements and compromises, conflicts persisted and, according to him, there was neither security nor stability.<\/p>\n<p>This comes after Antonio Guterres, the UN Secretary-General, had earlier emphasized that the establishment of an inclusive government is one of the fundamental conditions for achieving lasting peace in Afghanistan\u2014a position repeatedly echoed by international bodies and several countries.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the Taliban administration\u2019s emphasis on security, critics argue that ignoring the political participation of diverse groups, imposing extensive restrictions on women\u2019s rights, and excluding a large segment of society from power structures could seriously undermine sustainable peace and stability.
