Moscow once listed the Afghan hard-line movement as a terror group, but President Vladimir Putin now describes it as a “trusted ally.”

The Russian Prosecutor General’s Office requested Monday that the Supreme Court ends a ban on the Taliban’s activities in the country.

Moscow’s foreign and justice ministries submitted an appeal last week to President Vladimir Putin urging the Taliban’s removal from Russia’s list of terrorist organizations.

The Taliban is a political and militant Islamist group that emerged in Afghanistan in the early 1990s, and has ruled in Kabul since the U.S. withdrew from the country in August 2021.

The Russian hearing is scheduled for April 17 and will be held behind closed doors, the Supreme Court press service said in a statement, state-owned media outlet TASS reported.

Afghanistan’s Taliban govt does hold Afghanistan’s seat in the UN. That govt has failed to pay UN dues and thus the “credentials committee” has removed its voting privilege in the General Assembly.

But . . . it does hold that seat. The previous govt has made no effort to claim the Afghanistan seat. The Taliban govt is the presumed seat holder.

Not sure how much more legal a govt can get. The headline makes no sense. Venezuela’s Maduro govt holds the Venezuela UN seat.

If the UN seat defines “legal” then there is no need to claim anyone is “legalizing” anywhere.

How much longer until Russia is a Muslim nation?

This isn’t isolated. Look at the Chechens, etc.
