Whether world leaders should engage with the Taliban government is complicated, writes Lyse Doucet.
"Focusing on this one issue is just an excuse" says Zabihullah Mujahid, spokesman for the Taliban.
This includes a deeply embittered and still shaken Afghan diaspora, forced to flee their own country when the Taliban swept into power - for a second time - on 15 August 2021. Others in the diaspora are calling for greater pressure, including more sanctions and additional travel bans, to intensify the isolation.
But signs of dissatisfaction, even among senior Taliban leaders, with the most extreme edicts imposed by the ageing ultra-conservative supreme leader, keep kindling faint hope. Outside powers balance criticism with praise for progress, such as a crackdown on corruption which boosted revenue collection, and some efforts to tackle security threats posed by the Islamic State group. And Western powers look to Islamic countries and scholars to take the lead on shared concerns over the Taliban's extreme interpretations of Islam.
