The United Nations Security Council admitted it does not know how to deal with Afghanistan’s Taliban government.The Security Council unanimously adopted a resolution Thursday calling for independent recommendations on how to combat challenges in the country, including the Taliban’s crackdown on women and girls’ rights.“The Council is taking a careful and measured response to a difficult crisis with outside expertise and fresh thinking and essentially saying that a business as usual approach is not sufficient to Afghanistan,” United Arab Emirates UN Ambassador Lana Nusseibeh said.“Our hope is that the assessment will offer credible suggestions as to how the various relevant international and regional actors can coalesce around a shared vision for the country and how we can advance that vision in the Security Council.”
