50 Days On, No Diplomatic Recognition For Taliban

It is now 50 days since the Taliban took power in Kabul and there is no indication of any diplomatic recognition anytime soon. A humanitarian disaster looms large given that supplies of food and fuel are running low. Meanwhile, the Taliban claims to have raised a battalion of suicide bombers on the border with Tajikistan, at a time when the latter has been demanding the inclusion of more ethnic Tajiks in the interim government.
