Countries Find Taliban Demands Unreasonable
On Tuesday May 12, 2009, the Taliban claimed to possess nuclear weapons and technology, and then followed this announcement with a series of demands. They say that if the demands are not met within a month, they will take action against the state of Israel. Countries have had multiple reactions to these demands, and the overall opinion is that these demands are unrealistic.
India was the first nation to react on the record. “All the demands are very extreme and we are not willing to negotiate at this time. A month is too short a period of time to meet the demands because all the countries must come together to make a decision,” says India’s representative, Sabrina Bral. While India appears to care evenly about all the demands, Iran’s main concern is the Taliban’s demand for money. Kevin Bral of Iran stated that “the demand for 80 billion Pakistani rupees will be very difficult for the other members of the United Nations to agree upon. The concern is how much nuclear weaponry and technology the Taliban can gain from that kind of money.” Despite its views on the demands, Iran still wishes to sort the matter diplomatically. The representative of Pakistan, Charlie Montgomery, said that “the most unrealistic demand is that the democratically elected government of Pakistan should step down and declare Shariah law in the country.” Montgomery later added that the Taliban are “fear mongers” who are “not following the true word of Allah.”
US representative, Sarah Salek thoroughly expressed America’s policy of not negotiating with terrorists by stating that all of the demands are unrealistic, but mostly the demands for new leadership in Pakistan, a change to Shariah law, freeing hostages, and removing troops from the Middle East. The USA currently agrees with Iran that the demand for 80 billion rupees is problematic because it might supply the Taliban with the funds they need for more weaponry. Salek also noted, “Israel is one of our allies, and making them no longer a country is completely unrealistic.”
It is this news network’s opinion that all of the Taliban’s demands are unrealistic. Many of the countries in the UN believe that there will be no chance that any of the Taliban’s demands will be met. Despite this, many countries still want to solve this crisis diplomatically in order to mitigate the risk of nuclear war.

Taliban Gives Demands
At the emergency UN meeting this morning, the Taliban, now in control of Pakistan’s nuclear weapons, stated “no longer will the East be corrupted and destroyed by the perverted morals and values of the West.” Additionally, the Taliban declared several demands that must be met including new leadership, the return of Sharia in legal matters, the retreat of foreign militaries out of the Middle East, the creation of an official Muslim state in the Philippines, no longer considering Israel as a state, Taliban soldiers who are being held hostage must be returned, and 80 billion rupees ($16 billion USD). If the demands are not met, the Taliban will shoot a nuclear weapon at Israel.
After hearing the Taliban’s demands, the countries shared their thoughts on the situation. Many countries were hesitant to put pressure on the Taliban because of the risk of nuclear war, but instead wished to end the conflict peacefully. During his statement, Iran’s representative, Kevin Bral, stated that “I have not and will not be involved with the Taliban unless it is to negotiate a peaceful end to this issue.”
Even though many countries want to end the crisis peacefully, Charlie Montgomery of Pakistan said: “I think we need to make it clear to the Taliban that we do have a strong military and that we can take them out” while Sarah Salek of the United States stated that, “the United States strongly supports Pakistan and urges the military to not stand down and to disconnect their focus from India so that this issue with the Taliban can be resolved at once.” Despite the fact that US and Pakistan both have faith in the Pakistani military, the majority of Pakistan’s army is situated on the border with India. In response to this, Pakistan said that they would remove “non-essential personal from the border with India.” Even with the addition of some Pakistani soldiers from the border, the chances of the Pakistani army defeating the Taliban are slim as the army showed their incompetence when they let the Taliban obtain nuclear weapons. Because of the incompetence of the Pakistani military in the past, there must be intervention by the biggest outside powers.
With the lingering threat of nuclear warfare, the UN Security Council races to find a solution to this crisis. However, many nations want to resolve the issue in different ways which will lead to conflict, and possibly nuclear war.
