1. #Uzbekistan President's Special Rep on #Afghanistan Ismatulla Irgashev argues it's unreasonable to expect #Taliban to deliver everything the world wants right away, such as educational/academic development. "They don't have expertise and resources."
2. Why isn't #Uzbekistan supporting ethnic Uzbek scholars who fled the #Taliban, by welcoming them as many wish? Irgashev says Tashkent is focused on those inside #Afghanistan and that it will continue aiding them in any way it can. "We are in touch with the Uzbek communities." 
3. Irgashev says #Uzbekistan has been urging #Taliban to allow girls to go to school. "Because of our push, schools are opening in Balkh." He admits the Taliban must do a lot more to improve the situation. INTW w/ 🇺🇿President's Special Rep on Afghanistan:
4. I also asked 🇺🇿 special rep #Afghanistan about the Uzbek Taliban. "They speak with us in Uzbek... switch to Pashto if there are others who don't understand our language," says Irgashev. Do they care about Uzbeks in general? "They surely do... Some are running Uzbek areas."
