Taliban Returning To Battlefield
|
[KhaamaPress] In a blurb by the foreign policy: Taliban
 ...mindless ferocity in a turban...
released prisoners are returning to battlefields as commanders and fighters, which is considered a breach of the Doha agreement.
According to the article, the majority of released Taliban have taken up arms again in an intention to fight and overthrow the government.
An unpublished paper written for the Afghan Peace dialogue project at Queen’s University in Belfast, by experts Michael Semple and Flex Kuehn, It is found that the former Taliban detainees were participating in the battle, being killed, taken prisoner again, and in one case an ex-fighter of the group was involved in Dire Revenge liquidations.
The reports indicate that 68% of the 108 former Taliban chosen for the research have reintegrated with the group to actively resume their roles in battles, or are occupying military or political positions linked to Taliban war efforts.
Foreign policy also stated, that 8 percent of those under the research wished to return to battlefields but were held back through family opposition, the other 24% voluntarily have returned to normal civil life.
A local official who did not wanted to be identified has told Foreign policy that the findings are "accord to what we have observed".
"Some Taliban interviewed understood the stance that prisoners should not return to the fight, as a deliberate deception. ... They understood that pretending that prisoners would not be allowed to return to fight was a necessary price to be paid for ensuring that the prisoner release continued," the researchers wrote.
This comes as prisoners swap previously ended, and both parties have released all the prisoners to pave the path for Intra-Afghan talks.
