Taliban attends UN climate conference
The Taliban is sending representatives to the UN’s COP29 climate summit in Azerbaijan, which kicked off Monday and will run until November 22nd.
Considered a terror organization by Western countries, the Taliban regained control of Afghanistan after the Biden-Harris administration’s disastrous withdrawal in 2021. The exit marked the end of a 20-year war between the United States and the Taliban. According to The Associated Press, the Islamist group is not recognized as the legitimate ruler of Afghanistan.
Now for the first time, the Taliban is sending representatives from its National Environmental Protection Agency to participate in the UN conference. A central focus of the summit is expected to be climate finance, a UN agenda that demands wealthy countries pay for supposedly causing climate change. These payments are then distributed to developing countries in Africa — like Afghanistan.
“Last month the Taliban banned women from speaking in public. This month they will be invited to attend the the UN climate conference. The United Nations is a joke,” political commentator Eyal Yakoby said about the Taliban’s participation at the UN’s climate confab.
Terrorism is welcome at the UN
However, the Taliban’s presence is not as surprising to those who have observed the UN’s open embrace of terrorism, including the participation of UN employees in the October 7th massacre in Israel. The globalist organization has acknowledged its employees' part in the attack but has nonetheless demanded immunity.
Even before October 7th, however, the UN was open about its collaboration with terror groups. In 2004, for example, then-UNRWA Commissioner-General Peter Hansen said: “Oh, I am sure that there are Hamas members on the UNRWA payroll, and I don’t see that as a crime.”
UNRWA is the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees. Approximately 10% of the agency’s 13,000 Gazan employees are known to have ties to Hamas or Palestinian Islamic Jihad, with nearly half having relatives in the terror groups. Former UNRWA union chief Suhail al-Hindi occupies a senior leadership role in Hamas.
UNRWA’s collaboration with Islamic extremist groups — mostly through schools and “humanitarian aid” — has been well documented for years but only received attention after October 7th.
Reports by UN Watch have detailed how UNRWA operatives work with the Palestinian Authority (PA), a subsidiary of the Marxist PLO, to teach Jew-hatred, Holocaust denial, and Muslim supremacy in schools in areas the PA administers. UNRWA teachers have also been glorifying the October 7th massacre in classrooms.
