Afghanistan Peace CampaignAnalysts believe that if the interim government can provide work opportunities and security for those who left the country, more prominent figures will return.
The Commission for Contact with Personalities has announced that since its inception, over 950 individuals, including former ministers, governors, and members of the previous government’s parliament, have returned to the country.
Ahmadullah Wasiq, the commission’s spokesperson, pledged that everyone who has returned through the commission has been provided with security cards, enabling them to resume their lives in full safety.
Wasiq told TOLOnews: “So far, 952 individuals have returned to the country through the Contact Commission and are living peacefully with their friends and relatives. Among them, 90 individuals had not left the country but held positions in the previous government, including members of parliament and council representatives.”
Some political analysts believe that if the interim government can provide work opportunities and security for those who left the country, more prominent figures will return.
Mohammad Matin Mohammadkhail, a military analyst, told TOLOnews: “When they are contacted and return to Afghanistan, there should be provisions for work opportunities and education for their children and families.”
The Commission for Contact with Personalities was established by a decree from the leader of the Islamic Emirate in April 2022. The commission’s task is to facilitate the return of political, military, cultural figures, and civilians who left the country during the collapse of the Republic.
