The Taliban are in power in a country which, according to the United Nations (and the German government), is in a "humanitarian emergency" - which is why it should be helped. And international aid is already on the way; However, recognition in the sense of international law should not be associated with this. So far, the radical Islamists have been comparatively moderate. But what if they are indifferent to people's plight or if they disagree about the “right” development? After all, humanitarian aid will always be given.
Cooperation that goes beyond this makes the federal government dependent on the Taliban fulfilling conditions, for example respecting women's rights, forming an inclusive government and preventing the country from becoming a “new haven for terrorism”. After all, you don't want to be blackmailed; the word extortion has haunted the world for a few days. The Berlin demands are legitimate. It would be even better if Germany supports a regime that offers terrorists a safe haven again. But even that sounds more natural than it might be. The Taliban, to whom the land was in fact left, can damage German interests by refusing to cooperate and refusing German local staff to leave the country; Not to mention new flows of refugees.Then we would be back to blackmail.
