Potzel said that it is nearly impossible to imagine that any country will recognize the Islamic Emirate.

“Recognition is the issue of the member states. The member states recognize them but at the moment it is nearly impossible to imagine that any country will recognize the Islamic Emirate given the policy directed against women and girls,” Potzel.
