Will any countries recognize the Taliban?

No country is in a big hurry to recognize the Taliban, explains journalist Ahmed Rashid, even those that likely will do so in the future: Pakistan, China, and Russia. “They understand that if they recognize the Taliban, it's going to lead to a major division in the international community,” he told Ian Bremmer on GZERO World.

Aligning with the broader international community on the recognition process has more pros than cons for all involved, he explained.
