And of course, this has been part and parcel of the withdrawal of western troops, but it\u2019s also been the approach of the Taliban, and of course, it\u2019s been a test for the Afghan security forces.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll of those factors have been very fluid.

Of course, we\u2019d have taken action if we had.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In another interview with BBC, Raab said the UK believed the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2021\/08\/17\/moghalu-nigeria-must-never-recognise-taliban-led-afghanistan\/\">Taliban<\/a> would attempt to move in later in the year and in a more gradual manner.<\/p>\n<p>Asked if he would sit down with his counterpart in the Taliban-led Afghanistan, the foreign secretary said it would not happen \u201cfor the foreseeable future\u201d but added there has always been some form of communication between the UK and the militant group.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve always had a dialogue of some sort, either indirectly through third parties, or through the Taliban\u2019s political commission in Doha,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is important to be able to engage at least in some shape or form to test and to exert as much influence as we credibly, realistically can, and also to try and hold the Taliban to account to the new commitments they made.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve got to try and use every lever working with our partners, working with the UN, working with NATO, to try and secure a more moderating influence, and a better course for the Afghan people in the months and years ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Raab said about 900 British armed forces were in Afghanistan to help bring British nationals home and secure the safety of selected Afghans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>British foreign secretary, Dominic Raab has stated that the UK government did not forsee the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan.
