Islamabad, December 26
The Taliban dissolved Afghanistan’s two election commissions as well as the state ministries for peace and parliamentarian affairs, an official said on Sunday.
Bilal Karimi, deputy spokesman for Taliban-run government, said the country’s Independent Election Commission and Electoral Complaint Commission have been dissolved. He called them “unnecessary institutes for the current situation in Afghanistan.” He said if there is a need for the commissions in the future, the Taliban can revive them.
The international community is waiting before extending formal recognition to the Taliban, wary it could impose a similarly harsh regime as when they were in power 20 years ago — despite their assurances to the contrary. The Taliban had previously shut down the former Women’s Affairs Ministry. — AP
