Taliban reject Masood Azhar's terror status
The article discusses the Taliban's denial of the existence of the group's founder, Masoud Azhar, whom the United Nations classifies as a terrorist, within Afghan territory, despite Pakistan's claims of hosting him there. An official from the Afghan Foreign Ministry confirmed that Azhar left the country in May 2019, and that Kabul affirms Afghan territory will not be used against any country. These statements come amid international efforts to combat terrorist financing, as Pakistan has failed to curb funding to terrorist groups like Jaish-e-Mohammed and has been placed on the grey watch list of the Financial Action Task Force. The Taliban is calling for improved relations with Washington and the reopening of the U.S. embassy in Kabul, while seeking to strengthen its economic ties with the international community.
