KABUL, AUG 10: Sirajuddin Haqqani, the acting Minister of Interior, stated during visits to the provinces of Paktia and Paktika that the general amnesty decree in the country has not been violated and that there is no evidence to suggest otherwise.
Haqqani also emphasized that since the re-establishment of the Islamic Emirate, many hostilities between ethnic groups in the country have turned into friendships.
Regarding the non-violation of the general amnesty decree, he said, “In these three years of the Emirate’s rule, no one can prove that an individual from the previous regime has been executed or killed. Even the courts have postponed their personal cases.”
Khalifa Sirajuddin Haqqani traveled to Paktia and Paktika provinces to resolve ethnic disputes among residents of several districts.
Khalil Rahman Haqqani, the acting Minister of Refugees and Repatriation, accompanied the acting Minister of Interior on this trip.
Both ministers emphasized the resolution of ethnic conflicts in the country and announced the resolution of a century-old dispute between four tribes over land and mountains in Paktia and Paktika provinces. According to them, this conflict has claimed nearly 100 lives over time.
Khalifa Sirajuddin Haqqani said, “May God help other ethnic groups to follow your example by sitting down and turning bad into good. Just like last year, when the Sarkheil tribe honored us by turning a 70- to 80-year-old enmity into friendship.”
Khalil Rahman Haqqani said, “You appoint your representatives, and we will appoint ours. We will go to the area with the district officials and hand over the lands.”
The formerly conflicting parties, who have now embraced friendship, urged other ethnic groups with ongoing disputes to put an end to their hostilities.
Previously, the Ministry of Borders, Tribes, and Ethnicities reported that over 2,200 ethnic disputes have been resolved nationwide since the re-establishment of the Islamic Emirate.
