🔴 BRICS stance on Afghanistan; An opportunity for security cooperation and regional development
✒️Tamana Popalzai
🔵 The meeting of BRICS members, as an important international platform, provides a great opportunity to discuss the challenges and opportunities of cooperation in various fields, especially security, economic and social. In this regard, Afghanistan, as a country with a complex history and sensitive security conditions, needs international attention and cooperation. This article examines Afghanistan’s position in the BRICS meeting and the importance of member countries’ cooperation in the fight against terrorism and sustainable development.
🔹Security situation in Afghanistan
After the Taliban took over in 2021, concerns about the growth of terrorist groups such as ISIS and other extremist groups have increased. Despite the Taliban’s claims of controlling security and fighting terrorism, repeated attacks and explosions in different parts of the country indicate the fact that security threats still exist in the country and the Taliban has not been very successful in controlling terrorism.
🔹As a terrorist group with a violent and targeted ideology, ISIS has taken advantage of existing security weaknesses and purposefully targeted minorities, especially Shiites and other ethnic groups.
🔹Even though the Taliban tries to present itself as a legitimate and safe power, the existing facts indicate the growth and spread of terrorism in this country, which clearly shows the need for serious action and international cooperation to deal with it.
🔹The BRICS member countries, which include Brazil, Russia, India, China, Iran, South Africa, Egypt, Ethiopia, and the United Arab Emirates, as key players in the international arena, should pay special attention to the current situation in Afghanistan. The decisive stance of the BRICS countries against terrorist threats and cooperation with the Taliban can help strengthen the security of the region. In this regard, security cooperation between BRICS members and the Taliban should be on the agenda.
🔹The necessity of international cooperation
Fighting terrorism as a global challenge requires international cooperation and coordination. On the one hand, the Taliban, as the current rulers of Afghanistan, have a responsibility to respond to the concerns of neighboring countries and BRICS and show that they can act as a responsible actor. This can lead to the reduction of terrorist activities and the improvement of security in Afghanistan.
🔹On the other hand, the BRICS countries can help the Taliban to strengthen their capacities in the fight against terrorism by providing advice, training and technical support. These cooperations, can lead to stability in Afghanistan and reduce the security concerns of neighboring countries.
🔹In addition, Afghanistan, as a strategic point in Asia’s political geography, can play a key role in the realization of economic and development projects of BRICS. Cooperation in economic fields can also help to strengthen social stability and reduce the areas of terrorism.
