The European Commissioner for the Interior, Ylva johansson, said that so far there has not been a major exodus of Afghans, but insisted that there is a huge risk of humanitarian crisis “If the Taliban turns out to be the same Taliban we’ve seen in the past.” Similarly, JOhansson added that the EU is “a long way from recognizing the Taliban regime.”
The EU said it will only cooperate with the Afghan government after the Taliban return to power if they respect fundamental rights and oppose the use of Afghan land by terrorist groups.
“We have not seen any response to the fundamental conditions that must be met,” said Johansson, adding that the EU has already frozen development aid to Afghanistan in order to pressure the Taliban.
