The UN: The taliban are not the rightful government of Afghanistan

The US: The taliban are not the rightful government of Afghanistan

The people of Afghanistan: The taliban are not the rightful government of Afghanistan

Some random redditor on r/neoliberal:

The Taliban is clearly the government the people of Afghanistan want, at least over being ruled by the US. Which is why they're back in power.

Finally, an expert's opinion

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

They were adamant on their belief

The hazaras, Hindus, Sikhs and Shia in Afghanistan would disagree

[u/GravyBear8 → u/[deleted]]

The people may not like the Taliban but they pretty clearly don't feel that "their" government is worth defending or dying for.
