The Taliban government is now making efforts to improve its image in Afghanistan. The Taliban has announced the formation of a commission to bring back people who have left Afghanistan. The commission will work for the return of those who fled the country after the Islamic group seized power in August last year. This information was given in media reports on Thursday.
Afghanistan’s Khama Press reported that the Taliban government set up this commission, which has been named “Repatriation and Connection”, at a cabinet meeting on Wednesday. This commission will be set up in August last year for the return of people who had left the country and went abroad, when the Taliban returned to power after conflict with the then government of Afghanistan.
The body was formed after a cabinet meeting of the Taliban government. According to the statement, the commission will contact Afghans who have left Afghanistan so that they can return to their homeland.
After the Taliban takeover in August last year, thousands of Afghans left the country fearing retaliation from the Islamic group.
The human rights situation in Afghanistan has deteriorated since the fall of the Afghan government and the return of the Taliban to power. Although the fighting in the country has ended, serious human rights violations continue unabated.
Taliban decree still in progress
The Taliban have committed human rights violations and continue to do so. These include extra-judicial executions, forced disappearances, torture, arbitrary detention, rights violations of women and girls, censorship and attacks against the media. In addition, people in Afghanistan are also facing an unprecedented humanitarian crisis, fueled by decisions by the international community, particularly the US, which has blocked access to financial aid to Afghanistan.
