INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
US Ambassador to the UN Linda Thomas-Greenfield said on Wednesday that Washington has differences with Moscow and Beijing over the issue of
human rights in Afghanistan.Addressing reporters at the Washington Foreign Press Center on UN Reform, Greenfield said that the US would
consider human rights issues before recognizing an Islamic Emirate government.According to her, the situation for women and girls in
Afghanistan continues to worsen under the Islamic Emirate.&We think we need to do more to hold them accountable, but also to push them to
change,& she said.Greenfield stated that the Islamic Emirate cannot continue to live in a world where &women are being sidelined in society,
50 percent of their population not contributing to their countries.&&This is certainly a huge difference that we have with China and Russia,
raising issues of human rights before we recognize a Taliban (IEA) government,& she said.The US envoy also emphasized on the appointment of
a special envoy of the United Nations for Afghanistan, an issue that the Islamic Emirate has opposed and Russia and China have also made
their approval subject to the Islamic Emirate&s consent.The post US feels differently to China and Russia over Afghanistan first appeared on
