Despite not being recognized by Germany, the Taliban have appointed a new head of the Afghan embassy in Berlin without the German government's approval, broadcaster ARD reported.

    ARD said the announcement of a new diplomat was meant to be kept secret from Germany’s government until March, citing a letter from the Afghan Foreign Ministry.

    That would contradict the meaning and purpose of a diplomatic relationship in general.

    Are they that stupid or that audacious?

      I’m not sure if I solely put the blame on the taliban.

      Thanks to the German government who was stupid enough to start negotiations about returning Afghan citizens and let them into the country in the first place, the taliban are now testing boundaries, establishing themselves in these positions and they are able to get all the available documents and information from the embassy about relations and Afghan citizens that are in Germany.

      And now the taliban can gauge the reactions of Germany and other states. Religious fanatics still can be crafty and should not be underestimated.

    Before we talk about about diplomats from Taliban, can we stop participating in the genocide? Chancellor is more criminal than the Talibani diplomat.
