Russia’s top court lifts terror group designation on Afghanistan’s Taliban
- Russia's Supreme Court lifted the ban on the Taliban, a group labeled as a terrorist organization in 2003, on Thursday.
- The court's ruling was based on a request from the Prosecutor General's Office and followed a new law allowing court-suspended terror designations.
- Analyst Michael Kugelman noted that the move is not significant, as many countries have not labeled the Taliban as terrorists.
- The decision boosts the Taliban's legitimacy and helps Russia engage more while addressing anti-Russia terror group concerns, particularly from Islamic State-Khorasan.
