Russia delisted Taliban as terrorist organization

Russia's Supreme Court removed the Taliban from its list of terrorist organizations on Thursday, opening doors for business and investment. This decision aligns with Russia's efforts to stabilize Afghanistan. The delisting allows Russians to engage with the Taliban without legal repercussions, facilitating potential economic and diplomatic ties. Russia aims to build beneficial relationships with Afghanistan, including cooperation against terrorism and drug trafficking. This move follows similar actions by other Central Asian countries. The Taliban, seeking international recognition, has faced reluctance from Western nations due to human rights concerns and restrictions on women's education.
