Shaheen said the previous government in Kabul had been overthrown and representatives of the ousted government could no longer represent Afghanistan at the United Nations.

He added:
Everyone knows that the government of Kabul has completely collapsed, it does not have any conditions of sovereignty, while the Taliban has all the conditions of a government, it has the sovereignty and support of all sections of the Afghan people.
