Every time Israel pulls out of Gaza or other occupied areas Hamas would stage an offensive to make it appear they defeated the Israeli military. It is exactly the same dramatics staged by the Taliban. Not to belittle the loss of life and the trauma of a failed Afghan military, but, that is exactly what occurred and the people of Afghanistan now know who is fully in charge of the country and there are no more peace talks.
The international community is monitoring the cruel regime of the Taliban and for now the entire UN Security Council is united in their condemnation of the violence the Taliban are intent on bringing to the people of Afghanistan.
Refugees from Afghanistan should be welcomed by every country that can take them.
Complete sanctions are necessary and the only exchange should be food drops to the villages within the country of Afghanistan. The global community must press the Taliban to return to the peace tables as soon as possible and end violence against the people.
THE PEOPLE ARE UNARMED!
