Former Afghan MP Says Taliban Regime’s End Is Near and Its Fall Is Inevitable

Kabul / Washington (Web Desk):

Opposition to Afghanistan’s ruling Taliban administration is gaining momentum as Afghan political leaders, activists, and members of the diaspora continue to criticize the group’s policies and alleged human rights violations. Afghan leaders living abroad have intensified their campaign against the Taliban government. In this context, former Afghan Member of Parliament Bakhtash Siawash has predicted that the Taliban regime will eventually come to an end.

H2: “The Taliban Are Bringing Islam into Disrepute,” Says Bakhtash Siawash

In an exclusive interview with Afghanistan International, former Afghan MP Bakhtash Siawash sharply criticized the Taliban’s policies, stating:

• Disconnect from Islamic Teachings: According to Siawash, the Taliban do not represent the true principles of Islam and are instead contributing to a negative image of the religion worldwide.
• Restrictions on Rights and Education: He argued that the Taliban’s policies portray Islam as being opposed to women’s rights, modern education, arts, culture, and humanitarian values.

Siawash stated:

“The Taliban have been kept in place only for a predetermined period to serve the objectives of certain forces operating behind the scenes. Once those objectives are achieved, the Taliban regime itself will disappear.”

H3: Analysts Cite Growing Resistance

Political and security analysts say the Taliban’s hardline policies have attracted increasing international criticism. They note that many Afghans—particularly women and young people—continue to oppose the restrictions imposed by the authorities and are calling for greater freedoms and rights.

H2: Continued Opposition to the Taliban Government

Analysts also point to ongoing armed resistance in parts of Afghanistan and continued political opposition as evidence that sections of Afghan society remain opposed to Taliban rule. They add that the Taliban’s limited international recognition and sustained criticism from many countries and organizations have contributed to the administration’s continued diplomatic isolation.
