On September 20, Acting Deputy Minister of Culture and Information Zabihullah Mujahid, said that if the international community recognizes the new government, they will address the concerns over allegations of human rights violations, reports Tolo News. This was in response to criticism by European Union. “As long as we are not recognized, and they make criticisms (over rights violations), we think it is a one-sided approach. It would be good for them to treat us responsibly and recognize our current government as a responsible administration. Afterward, they can share their concerns lawfully with us and we will address their concerns,” Mujahid said.
