The proxy Afghan Olympic team is flying the tri-coloured red, green and black flag, not the black & white flag in Paris. Just like the Afghan proxy embassies scattered around the world, most Afghans from the 'democracy-project-generation' don't live in Afghanistan anymore. So while this inclusion in the Olympics is progress for the Afghan diaspora, it's certainly not the Taliban opening up. The Taliban were banned from the Sydney Olympics in 2000 and now again in Paris 2024.
