The Taliban requests representation at this week's UN General Assembly, a move that is expected to kick off a diplomatic battle with the preexisting Afghan envoy. UNGA

Afghanistan is currently represented at the UN by Ghulam Isaczai, an appointee of the country's former democratic government, which crumbled under the Taliban's advance last month.The Taliban, which now governs Afghanistan, instructed the UN on Monday to replace Isaczai with their own representative, according to a statement by the UN Secretary General's spokesman Stéphane Dujarric.

The letter also noted that former president Mohammed Ashraf Ghani has been"ousted and [countries across the world] no longer recognize him as president," according to the spokesman's statement. Since the Taliban took control of Afghanistan, Isaczai has continued to advocate for his country, meeting with foreign envoys and even calling on the UN Security Council to pressure the Taliban into forming a more democratic government.
