The UK government has instructed the Afghanistan embassy to cease operations.

This closure, communicated to Ambassador Zalmai Rassoul, mandates the cessation of the embassy’s activities by September 27, 2024. In a statement, Mr. Rassoul acknowledged the host nation’s requirements as the basis for this decision and expressed gratitude to those who supported the embassy’s mission.

The Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan in London is scheduled to officially close and will cease its operations on September 27, 2024, at the official request of the host country. This decision has been made based on the requirements of the host country's authorities

This development coincides with the interim Afghan Taliban government’s decree that documents from 14 embassies, including London’s, are now void.

These embassies, still staffed by appointees of Afghanistan’s previous government, do not recognize the current Taliban administration due to its absence of international legitimacy.

Reports indicate these embassies have continued to operate autonomously, facing financial challenges and disregarding Taliban directives.

Foreign Policy magazine reported last year that diplomats at these missions, often Western-educated and contributors to Afghanistan’s development post-2001, feel increasingly isolated and abandoned abroad.

Despite ruling for three years, the Taliban’s government remains unrecognized globally, hindered by its human rights record and extremist affiliations. While some nations like Russia, China, and Pakistan have accepted Taliban-appointed envoys, most Western countries, including the US, have not.
