    Top Taliban leaders may be exempted from UN sanctions list

    What's the story

    Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, Sirajuddin Haqqani, and 133 other leaders of the Taliban may soon be exempted from the United Nations' sanctions list on the terror group, News18 reported.

    Sources told the publication that such an exemption was part of the Taliban-US deal on American troop withdrawal from Afghanistan.

    The Taliban took control of the war-torn country on Sunday, triggering panic and chaos.

    Details

    Taliban sanctions committee was formed in 2011

    The 1988 Sanctions Committee, also called the Taliban Sanctions Committee, was formed through the resolution number 1988 in 2011 by splitting the 1267 sanctions regime on Al-Qaeda.

    In June this year, Baradar and other top Taliban leaders were given a three-month relaxation on their travel ban to hold "peace talks" with the Afghan government and other world leaders.

    Context

    Taliban took over Afghanistan, ending 20-year war

    The Taliban, a group of insurgents infamous for violence and infringing human rights, regained control of Afghanistan on Sunday.

    They had seized many key cities before reaching Kabul in a matter of days. Former President Ashraf Ghani also fled the country on Sunday.

    The group's return coincided with the United States' decision to withdraw troops after 20 years of war.

    Meanwhile, US President Joe Biden once again defended the decision to withdraw troops in an address from the White House on Friday.

    He called the ongoing evacuation from Afghanistan "one of the most difficult in history."

    The President, however, vowed to bring back all Americans and Afghans who helped them. "Any American who wants to come home, we will get you home."
