US State Department: Taliban must fight terrorists and create a legitimate government 
The world community recognizes the legitimacy of the Taliban ( a terrorist organization banned in Russia ) in Afghanistan if the Taliban fight terrorists and create an inclusive government. This was stated by Thomas West, US State Department Special Representative for Afghanistan. His words are reported by RIA Novosti.
The diplomat also called on the Taliban to respect the rights of minorities, women and girls. According to him, this means equal access to education and employment.
Earlier it became known that during the US military operation in Afghanistan, Washington issued permits to a number of government agencies and NGOs to work with the Taliban, bypassing sanctions. There was also information that the main mistake of the United States in Afghanistan was an attempt to create an army on the American model.
