Senior Taliban officials make 1st known visit to Japan since takeover

Any leader from sovereign nation can visit Japan formally.

Especially Japan really interest to have development project all over the world, so it doesn't matter whether is Ukraine or somewhere in central Asia.

The Taliban have arrived seeking alms from the Japanese government. They adamantly deny quashing women’s rights in Afghanistan because it is God‘s will and not theirs. Their religious practice also involves sexual exploitation of young boys. The Taliban Military is also well fed and clothed while the rural masses face starvation. The Taliban Mullahs also receive stipends from the central government and enjoy comradeship with Isis Military units. These envoys in Japan seek fellowship, military assistance, and financial aid from their perceived Japanese friends.

 They adamantly deny quashing women

You think Japan really uphold female right? Even just acknowledging female last name after marriage, still be a debate in 21st century Japan.

They are responsible for the murder of Dr Nakamura.

ARREST THEM!!!!

Wow, anything could happen at the right time.

From Terrorists and savages to Senior officials visiting capitals and meeting government officials.

Japan should do all it can to prevent this nation from falling into the wrong hands and this could be the chance.

They should receive a very strong warning that no aid will be given. At the same time, the very oppressive current situation for females exists and nothing will happen until they are restored to the situation pre-Taliban. The situation for Afghan females is unacceptable.

@WoodyLee

They might have different believe and value system compared to western one, but they do have have believe, value and social structure that keep their society still in place.

It's been almost 4 years after they take control, people still continue their routines, raising family, earn their wage doing their work every day.

Nation building? Japan should not lose this opportunity to tell them that Dr. Nakamura and the Peshawar-kai was doing exactly that before he was ambushed and murdered by the Taliban.

Bizarre world we live in

Why were known terrorists even issued visas? Unbelievable.

Trump has some responsibility for agreeing with the Taliban to withdraw American troops. There was no endgame plan for the country after the US spent $2.313 trillion on the war.

“The U.S. is the largest international donor to Afghanistan, having provided about $2.6 billion in funding to the UN, other international organizations (PIOs), and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) operating in Afghanistan since August 2021,” said the SIGAR report.

Japan Inc , sees money and power in this , they really couldn't care about human rights , look at the work practices here .

That can still be improved with even better manners, sending some people with money bags to Kabul, instead of letting Taliban to show up here for receiving generous payments. lol

You think Japan really uphold female right? 

out of all the countries of the world for quality of life for women, Japan would be in top three easily

If you live in an anime, maybe. In reality, certainly not.

Denmark, Switzerland, Sweden, Finland, Luxembourg, Iceland, Norway, Austria, Netherlands, New Zealand, Canada...

Disgusting to see Japan hosting such barbaric terrorists. Shame on Japan.

they are responsible for the murder of Dr Nakamura.

Nakamura was similiarly as naive as the Japanese govt, and paid his life for it. He resisted warnings from Western aid and other NGOs agencies that his indiscrimate embrace of all factions and parties was playing with fire,

I've seen footage, Japan is a paradise for women, great pay opportunities, female healthcare, super safe streets, comfy life where they can have fun going to cute cafes and shopping.

Japan being "hard for women" is honestly an outdated stereotype.

And if I recall, in Sweden, sexual assaults carried out against women are skyrocketing.. hmm

This is provably false and also patently misogynistic.

Ask Shiori Ito what she thinks about it.

"Senior Taliban officials make 1st known visit to Japan since takeover."

Demonizing each other doesn't bring world peace. But openness and dialogue is the key. May peace prevail to all men of Goodwill.

Never hurts to talk, as nearly any business beats terrorism and poppyseeds!

I guess there's always a chance that something could "happen" to the plane of this delegation on the way home.

Taliban - A bunch of despicable women and girl haters with stone age beliefs.

Really those kind of comments are not helpful and do not prove anything.

Here's some actual numbers, then:

Feel free to write them if you think their stats and conclusions are wrong.

lol when you have Man come from miles away to knock on your door for aid you are in a very good bargaining Position. Use the opportunity to leverage some female restrictions away like women health and women education.

"curtailing women's rights" - Not often Japan is better placed in the gender equality scale.

Grammatically, this sounds like the Taliban have taken over Japan

I suggest taking them for a visit to Kabukicho. Let’s see if their strict morals will then keep them from accepting a handout from “heathens”. I think they’ll still take the cash.

These medieval murdering fascists need to be overthrown as soon as possible; it's unbelievable that their vicious, vile regime can continue to dominate the repressed population, denying over half of them (the women) the most basic freedoms of free-speech, free movement, and the clothing they wear....

It's going to be extremely bloody, but the revolution has to take place, as the terrorists are never going to willingly give up their power and weapons - the change can only be fomented once all foreign aid is completely cut-off, as this is the only source that keeps the Taliban in power.

These groups like Taliban's doesn't just crop up from thin air. They are created and we should also hold accountable those who created them.

Just preparing themselves to do business with the Al-Qaeda rulers of Syria, I suppose.

Since they are against equal rights for all people, maybe they will be invited to the White House next. Trump's kind of people.

Don’t give them any money!

One can hope that a visit like this one will be productive, but who knows. I read that before 9/11 Osama bin Laden visited the United States with one of his wives. Didn't make him any more rational.

Isn’t the Taliban a terrorist group?

Will the immigration form request a confirmation of any recent beheading with a ‘yes or no’

?
