EU-Taliban Talks & What It Means with Mansoor Ramizy

Euractiv recently interviewed IBB Afghanistan Country Program Director Ahmad Mansoor Ramizy to discuss the EU’s invitation of the Taliban delegation to Brussels.

The invitation concerns the deportation of Afghan nationals deemed security threats or convicted criminals, but comes amidst continuing persecution of women and deprivation of their education.

Ramizy discusses the Taliban’s ongoing deprivation of women’s education, IBB’s underground schools program that he is currently spearheading, and the implications of the EU legitimizing the Taliban regime.
