Afghan reporter to NATO chief: 'Please don't recognize the Taliban'
An Afghan reporter pleaded with the leader of NATO not to formally recognize the Taliban after its takeover of Afghanistan.
"Please don't recognize the Taliban and don't put us again in the same situation," female Afghan journalist Lailuma Sadid told NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg during a press conference.
"Thousands of women already don't know ... what is going on and what should happen for them, and they are always asking, 'What does it mean?'" Sadid said. "We are going back [to Taliban rule] again?"
During her remarks, Sadid was seen with an "Afghan Lives Matter" poster behind her.
