Recent statements by Josep Borrell, high representative of
the European Union (EU) for Foreign Policy, make noise.
The European official asked to deal with the Taliban because
they "have won the war." Defeatist words in the midst of a delicate
context, as the international community still demands respect for the human
rights of Afghans who are in the country and who must survive Islamic
extremism.
On the other hand, there are the consequences at the
strategic level, due to the bridges that the terrorist group could build with
countries with hegemonic interests such as Russia, China and Iran.
"We will deal with the Afghan authorities as they are,
but at the same time remaining naturally vigilant about the respect of the
international obligations accepted by the different Afghan governments for more
than 15 years," Borrell outlined after a videoconference with EU foreign
ministers regarding to the Afghan crisis.
