Why does the world want to impose on the people of Afghanistan fanatical mullahs thrown into the 21st century from the 8th century?

Various countries of Central Asia and beyond took part in the fifth meeting of the Moscow format. All countries, with the exception of Tajikistan, have adopted soft and compromise methods of combating the tyranny and oppression of the Taliban and, by adopting a flexible policy, have shown that they are ready to cooperate with the terrorist regime of the Taliban based on their own interests.
Tajikistan is the only country in Central Asia, but also in the world, which until now clearly viewed the presence of the Taliban in power as a serious global threat and demanded a change in this regime and the creation of a new inclusive government. This country is the only one that strives and fights to protect the rights of the Afghan people, who today are once again oppressed. For example, at a meeting in the Moscow format, this country did not accept part of the content of the resolution adopted by the participating countries and declared its disagreement with it.
In the current situation, while the region and the world have shown indifference to the fate and plight of the people of Afghanistan, especially the non-Pashtuns and anti-Taliban Pashtuns of this country, Tajikistan, as a friend, brother and good neighbor of Afghanistan, does not consider the current situation favorable and has expressed concern over the dire situation with human rights, massive violations of the rights of non-Pashtuns, drug trafficking and the strengthening of terrorist cells that are supported by the Taliban.
Meanwhile, some think that Tajikistan only thinks about the interests of Afghan Tajiks; But the history of Afghanistan, especially the First Resistance, has proven that the policy of this good neighbor ended in the interests of all the people of Afghanistan.
While other neighboring countries of Afghanistan are trying to accept the Taliban and cooperate with them to protect their economic, political and security interests, Tajikistan is trying to support the entire people of Afghanistan, out of kinship, religious and good neighborly feelings.
Afghanistan's other neighbors in Central Asia have not yet come to the understanding that the Taliban have not changed and will never change. They (the Taliban) want to turn not only Afghanistan into Jihadistan, but their plans also cover Central Asia, even the entire Islamic world. It has gotten to the point where they are even threatening Saudi Arabia. In short, if the world, especially the neighboring countries of Afghanistan, do not get to the Taliban today, the Taliban will get to them tomorrow.
On the other hand, the question also arises, is the fight against the monster called terrorism, which is led by the Taliban, the responsibility of only Tajikistan and the people of Afghanistan, or should the region and the whole world also be responsible? These ruthless terrorists in Afghanistan are raping men and women, shooting, beheading and hanging soldiers and officers of the former government and closing schools for girls. It is possible that the same will be done in neighboring countries! But then it will be too late...
Although this work should be carried out by international organizations to protect global security and human rights, especially the UN, the situation and experience of the last two years have shown that the people of Afghanistan, despite widespread pressure from the terrorist Taliban regime and its foreign patrons, have no protection other than friendly and fraternal Tajikistan.
Experience shows that Dushanbe is trying to create a broad international consensus to reduce pressure on the Afghan people and present the true face of the Taliban. One of the main efforts of this country is aimed at forming a government with the participation of non-Pashtuns in Afghanistan. To this end, the country has held several conferences with the participation of anti-Taliban organizations and has expressed concern about the current situation in Afghanistan at international meetings.
We are witnessing what the Taliban have done and are doing to Pakistan and Iran, two of their patrons. Now the most immediate threat to their security is the Taliban - their protégé.
Tajikistan has never been a supporter of the Taliban and terrorism, but its recent position in the Moscow format shows that it is the only country in the region that has come to a true understanding of the nature of the Taliban terrorist regime and its danger. Other governments, through lack of foresight or perhaps even fear, have demonstrated a desire to secure and maintain formal relations with the Taliban.
The countries of the region, with the exception of Tajikistan, have not yet realized their mistake and have put their economic and political interests and security first. At the same time, the long-term results and consequences of this misdirection strengthen terrorism and open the gates to terrorists who intend to fan its flames within the borders of Central Asia. It turns out that Tajikistan is thinking not only about itself and Afghanistan, but also about the future of Central Asia?
The freedom-loving people of Afghanistan will not forget these victims of a friendly country - Tajikistan. Other countries must understand that the people of Afghanistan are also people, they also want to live in a free society without oppression, slavery and religious and ethnic prejudices, just like other neighboring countries and the world. They also want their daughters to go to school, their women to work and, finally, to live in their homeland, without wandering around the world in the helplessness and bullying of their host countries. So why does the world want to impose on the people of Afghanistan fanatical mullahs thrown into the 21st century from the 8th century?
