Al-Qaeda is enjoying a ‘safe haven’ in Afghanistan under the Taliban, a UN report has warned.

The experts said in the intelligence report to the U.N. Security Council that the country could become a base for international terrorist attacks once again, The Guardian reported.

However, they added neither IS nor al-Qaeda ‘is believed to be capable of mounting international attacks before 2023 at the earliest, regardless of their intent or of whether the Taliban acts to restrain them.’

Nonetheless, it said the presence of IS, al-Qaeda, and ‘many other terrorist groups and fighters on Afghan soil’ is raising concerns in neighboring countries and the wider international community.

Since their takeover of Afghanistan last August as U.S. and NATO forces were in the final stages of their chaotic withdrawal from the country after 20 years, the Taliban ‘have favored loyalty and seniority over competence, and their decision-making has been opaque and inconsistent.’

In the report obtained Thursday, the panel monitoring sanctions against the Taliban said its leaders have appointed 41 men on the U.N. sanctions blacklist to the Cabinet and senior positions.

They have also favored the country’s dominant Pashtun ethnic group, alienating minority communities including ethnic Tajiks and Uzbeks.

The Taliban’s primary concern has been to consolidate control ‘while seeking international recognition, to re-engage with the international financial system and to receive aid in order to deal with the growing economic and humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan,’ the experts said.

‘Since taking power, however, there have been many factors creating internal tensions within the movement, leading to perceptions that the Taliban’s governance has been chaotic, disjointed and prone to reversing policies and going back on promises.’
