KUALA LUMPUR – Malaysian political parties should educate themselves on what the Taliban has done to the people of Afghanistan before aligning themselves with the Islamist regime.
“Countries need to learn from whatever that is happening to Afghanistan and avoid it,” said a spokesman for Afghan refugees in Malaysia.
“For (Malaysian) political parties that want to have some kind of unity with the Taliban, I urge them to find out what the Taliban has done to Afghanistan.
“This will be a good lesson for all countries. What happened in Afghanistan could happen anywhere, so it’s best to learn from it and avoid it.”
The spokesman, who wished to remain anonymous, said he worked for an Afghan government institution before fleeing to Malaysia in 2016 with family members after Taliban-linked individuals threatened their safety.
The Taliban cannot be trusted, he said, pointing to the group’s track record on human rights abuses.
