Recognition is very important for the new Taliban govt. But they are not
dependent on that. Soon after Kabul fell on 15 August, some people in the West already were saying that Taliban could financially manage because of control over border crossings, which generate substantial revenue. Plus, unlike the previous govt, Taliban are going to run a mostly non-corrupt govt.
Speaking of the new govt, Saleem Safi's latest video saying that Taliban had to try to balance the need to include more ethnicities with the strong pressure from their cadres not to give away too much to the likes of Karzai or Abdullah. So the end result is a govt run by proven loyalists who fought with them for decades but also
deputy ministers' positions have more representations from other ethnicities.
Safi is also saying that the new govt has almost no anti-Pakistan figures; yes, there are the Taliban who don't like Pakistan! Maybe to them Pakistan can't be trusted because of what happened after 9/11? Maybe they see Pakistan as being too 'liberal'? Or maybe they too have been watching Indian channels too much?
