Over 1,000 Former Officials Return to Afghanistan, Says Commission

According to Ahmadullah Wasiq, those returning to the country face no threats and are also issued security cards.

The commission for contact with former political figures and leaders has told TOLOnews that since its establishment, over a thousand people have returned to the country.

Ahmadullah Wasiq, the spokesperson for this commission, informed TOLOnews that these individuals include former government officials, such as ministers, governors, and commanders.

Wasiq said about the returnees: “So far, through the Commission for Contact with Figures, 1,008 individuals have returned to the country, including those who held high-ranking positions such as ministers, generals, army officers, and commanders.”

Meanwhile, several political and military analysts said the Islamic Emirate should provide returning officials with living facilities, work opportunities, and physical security.

Idris Zazi, a political analyst, shared his views: “For those returning to the country, there is a need to provide work opportunities, as merely being present in Afghanistan is not enough. Work, trade, and investment opportunities should be planned and prepared.”

Zalmai Afghanyar, another political analyst, said: “When the commission operates and invites politicians back to Afghanistan, their security must be a point of discussion, and dialogue should be the solution for all disputes.”

According to Ahmadullah Wasiq, those returning to the country face no threats and are also issued security cards.
