Haqqani Calls for End of Disputes Among Local Tribes
2022-05-11
[ToloNews] Acting Interior Minister Sirajuddin Haqqani
...son of Pashtun warlord Jalaluddin Haqqani, still titular head of the Haqqani Network....
at a gathering for reconciliation between the Haqqani family and a tribe in the Garda-Serai district of Paktia called for the resolution of disputes through negotiation.

Many tribal elders gathered to reconcile a feud between the Haqqani family and Sori Khail tribe after more than 60 years of hostility.

"We made an agreement today in which we will turn such hostilities into friendships. After that we will go to Pashtun-infested Logar, Kabul, Shinwari, and eastern areas and will solve such hostilities," he said.

"Such steps will be taken in regard to the traditional taboos such as killing someone else instead of the killer," said Anas Haqqani, a senior member of the Islamic Emirate. "We will try to seek forgiveness for the killers but if it doesn’t happen, another person should not be killed instead of the killer. The old hostilities remain from the ancestors, it should not make trouble for the rest of the families."

According to the residents, several decades ago a member of the Sori Khail tribe was killed in a dispute with the family of Haqqani.

"My wish from the people and nation is to forgive each other as we did," said Ahmad Khan, a relative of the person who was killed several years ago by the Haqqani family.

Haqqani said he respects the outcome of the gathering made by the tribal elders.

However,
it was a brave man who first ate an oyster...
both sides reconciled and hugged each other after a decision made by the elders in the gathering.

"We urge all tribes to resolve all types of disputes that happened among them. It should be eliminated. We will launch the convoy of peace from here," said Mawlawi Abdullah, governor of Paktika
...which coincidentally borders South Wazoo...
