Austin: No evidence Taliban being 'inclusive,' says 'I don't look favorably' on wanted terrorist in government
|
[FOXNEWS] Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin says that while the Taliban promised to form an "inclusive" government upon taking control of Afghanistan, there does not appear to be any indication they are actually doing this.
I noticed that. Not a single woman, black, or Hispanic was named.
Speaking to reporters during a visit to Kuwait, Austin referenced the Taliban's claim that they would work toward having an "open, inclusive Islamic government," unlike what they had when they controlled Afghanistan before U.S. forces landed in the country nearly 20 years ago.
"You know, I think the whole international community was hopeful that they would be inclusive as they kind of said they would be weeks and months ago, but we've not seen evidence of that early on," Austin said.
The Taliban recently announced members of their new government, and not a single woman was included. A Taliban spokesperson on Monday said positions within the government are now in an "acting capacity" but added that many members of the old guard are part of the new government.
