Multiple headlines mark five years since the Taliban regained control of Afghanistan and describe its efforts to build pragmatic international alliances and secure inclusion at the United Nations without formal recognition. The coverage also highlights Afghanistan's fragile stability and continuing international debate over the country's future.
