What did these fond, self-deluded fools really expect?
“EU Warns Taliban Govt Not ‘Inclusive And Representative,'” Agence France Presse, September 8, 2021:
The European Union on Wednesday said the “caretaker” government unveiled by the Taliban in Afghanistan failed to honour vows from the new rulers to include different groups.
“Upon initial analysis of the names announced, it does not look like the inclusive and representative formation in terms of the rich ethnic and religious diversity of Afghanistan we hoped to see and that the Taliban were promising over the past weeks,” an EU spokesperson said.
The EU’s 27 nations have set out five conditions for increasing their engagement with the Taliban — including the formation of an “inclusive and representative” transitional government.
The spokesperson for the bloc said that “such inclusivity and representation is expected in the composition of a future transitional government, and as result of negotiations”….

‘Inclusive’. Lost in translation, probably. ‘Inclusive’ in Taliban-speak means including as many of the brothers who were naively freed from Guantanimo!
Eva says
No, REALLY???
What was their first clue?
Michael Copeland says
“Religious diversity”?
One remaining Jew, the last Christian church demolished a few years ago, the huge sculptures of Buddha dynamited.
Does not sound very “diverse”.

Not to worry. The Taliban rulers are all over-ripe and about to go the way of Mullah Omar who died in 2013 of talibanculosis -it’s true because I read that in Wikipedia.
Talibanculosis is not a nice way to go. It starts with the middle-aged man’s feeling of desiccation as he sits in the golden palace of his enemy. It all means nothing. The sight of a beautiful woman makes him feel nauseous and he wants to vomit. He runs to the gilded bathroom’s cabinet and finds some cleaning product called Alka-Seltzer and thinks he can commit suicide with that but he just burbles and dribbles. And, oh, he’s supposed to be at the Supreme Sura meeting: old men with sour-puss faces who are going to destroy the West and conquer the world inshallah… “Yeah right..” as the infidels say. No he can’t be bothered and just pulls the doona over himself and his otherwise empty emir-size bed.

i was hoping they would have made no mistake in what taliban is but it seems they are fantasizing once again in europe… taliban is the monsters of islam they always was… the jihadi demons of a satan worshipping religion and nothing more…
Christopher Watson says
Are these people real? Did they really believe the Taliban would have a diverse government? No wonder they no longer win wars. The muslims will gradually take over Europe and the USA and probably India. One day we will wake up and realise we are living in a moslem state.

EU: Taliban government not ‘inclusive,’ doesn’t reflect ‘the rich ethnic and religious diversity of Afghanistan’
………….
Grimly laughable. The Taliban is lining victims up in the street shooting them in the head, going door to door looking for grade school girls to use as sex slaves, and setting a woman on fire for “bad cooking”, but the EU thinks the real problem is “lack of diversity”, as though they are a company without enough women and minorities on the board. It’s like saying the Nazis were not diverse enough.
You can’t make this sh*t up.
DavidR says
That was fast for the EU. They apparently didn’t need to form an investigatory committee to understand why the Taliban are being so obstinate and misleading.
The Remorseless Headsman says
Taliban not forming an inclusive government?! Oh, the horror! This is on par with becoming upset with a known serial killer who insists on habitual jaywalking.
GreekEmpress says
Taliban government not inclusive?
Well, DUH.
Peacelover says
Muslims,period,what do you expect?

The Taliban are, of course, a bunch of the worst, most evil, knuckle dragging subhumans who have ever polluted this earth. But, what a load of shit it is to try and put this positive spin of Afghanistan’s nature. Ah, yes, of course endless diversity is always wonderful. This crap about how this primitive, backward country, Afghanistan, has such “rich ethnic and religious diversity”. I’d describe Afghanistan, even without the stinking Taliban fouling the place up, as completely chaotic and totally backward. I heard a report on the radio in Australia this morning about how the economy in Afghanistan has fallen off a cliff and people are starving. The report was about how a former policeman had lost his job. He has 7 children and was selling his youngest daughter to some childless man in order to be able to feed his wife and his other children. Not sure if the report was true, but it probably is. What a fucking disaster Afghanistan is. I just remembered why the presenter of the report told the story. Here in Australia, we have all been in Covid lockdown for almost 3 months which is driving people mad, and the presenter said, hey, if you think we are having things tough out here, this story from Afghanistan might put things into perspective..
OLD GUY says
Will government and media ever learn that islam is a lier. One thing for certain diversity and inclusive are and never have been apart of ISLAM.
