The United States has joined a whole host of other nations who are calling for the Taliban to end targeted killings of former Afghan security personnel

In a joint statement, the countries demand that the militant group respects the pledge to not harm former government officials.

The statement says “we are deeply concerned by reports of summary killings and enforced disappearances”.

This follows Human Rights Watch documenting alleged killings and abductions by the Islamist regime.

It’s believed more than 100 executions and abductions of former government officials have been carried out since the Taliban took control of Afghanistan back in August.

The joint statement has been published and signed by the US, UK, the EU, and a further 19 countries.

The Taliban has denied the allegations… but did say they would be willing to allow an independent investigation to happen.
