UAE accepts Taliban's ambassador credentials, marking a diplomatic victory for Afghanistan's rulers.

United Arab Emirates (UAE) accepts Taliban's ambassador credentials, marking a significant diplomatic victory for Afghanistan's rulers, and further demonstrating the international divide over how to engage with the Taliban, who are not officially recognized as the legitimate government. UAE's action follows a series of bilateral relations forged by the Taliban with regional powers, such as Uzbekistan's highest-level foreign visit in three years. The UN states that recognition of the Taliban is currently "nearly impossible" due to ongoing restrictions on women and girls in the country.
