Pakistan PM Imran Khan, during his keynote address at the meeting, warned the global community that the situation in Afghanistan would become “the largest man-made crisis in the world” if immediate action is not taken. Khan said no other country has suffered as much damage as Afghanistan, with 75% of the country’s budget backed by foreign aid before the Taliban took control. He urged Washington to separate the Taliban government from the Afghan citizens. “They have been in conflict with the Taliban for 20 years, but it belongs to the people of Afghanistan,” Khan said, adding that Afghanistan would swoop into chaos if the world failed to act immediately. “Such a situation will not suit America because anarchy means an inability to fight terrorism.” He said the Taliban had to fulfill promises made to the international community, including forming an inclusive government and ensuring women’s rights. Earlier, the caretaker Afghan foreign minister has done much to restore peace and security to the Taliban government and to meet the demands of a more inclusive government with respect to human rights, including women’s rights.
